If a women has a mother, sister or daughter diagnosed with breast cancer, that womans faces almost twice the chance of also being diagnosed with breast cancer. Nearly 15% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have a family member diagnosed with it as well. Nearly 10% of breast cancers are linked to gene mutations - BRCA1 and BRCA2 the most common - inherited from a mother or father. When these particular mutations are found in an individual, there is an 80% risk of developing breast cancer during their lifetime. President Obama’s health-care overhaul includes a provision that calls for coverage of tests to determine the risk in a patient for breast and ovarian cancer. The health-care provider has to recommend the test - with cost average of $3000 - and would likely only do so in cases where there is a family history. Average cost for a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction can range from $20,000 to $100,000 depending on the procedure and location.
