Yes, breast cancers may be hereditary. The incidence of breast cancers in two of your family members makes it even more probable for it to be running in your family. But you should not be scared, rather deal with it intelligently. You should rather do monthly self breast exam and get an annual breast imaging done. Don't overlook any breast lump and get it evaluated by an experienced doctor
