Hi Jeepers.
I also have a family history of BC. Mother and sister. Both diagnosed before menopause.
Both Estrogen receptive BC.
There are many types of BC, but, I believe approx 80% of BC is estrogen receptive, whether or not you have a family history, so every woman is at risk of estrogen receptive BC. The most common type.
For this reason, I was absolutely advised, by GP and Breast Cancer specialists, not to take hrt. They also went on to say, if my meno symptoms were so bad that I could not cope, then hrt could be used, but very carefully monitored and for the shortest time possible, bearing in mind 90% of women will be through with meno symptoms within 4 years of last period.
Hope this helps. X
