Fantastic news, enjoy your travels. Consider though that the single biggest cause of breast cancer is getting older, so it may be wise not to put off starting a family too much longer.
My mother also had breast cancer over 18 years ago when 63. I thought I might get it around her age, maybe a few years earlier. She wasn’t tested as it wasn’t routine then, and still isn’t- depends on type and family history. I was 11 years younger than my mother - she’s a bit sketchy on the type but both ER+, though I was Her2 also. My mother was the only person known to get a cancer of any sort in her family for generations, and none on my fathers side either, so its doubtful that its genetic, just bad luck or share the same environmental factors and both late with menopause.
Don’t judge your mum on it, it may not have been advised as they look for specific indicators before suggesting a test, so it may well not have been offered as she says, its not something that is routine. In time there may be new genetic connections that aren’t known about yet.
