Brett -- sorry to hear this news.
Fred Hutchinson Research Center -- Seattle -- major cancer research center
in the US. I do their "breast cancer" walk-a-thon .... haven't been to
their web site lately, but it's where I would start.
I have a friend (<30) who is a breast cancer survivor, also. And another
<40 who had a double mastectomy /before/ she got cancer -- her probablity
was >80% that she would have it before age 40.
