Not all forms of cancer are (primarily) hereditary. For some forms of cancer it is really a mystery what is the cause of the illness.
Don't know about breast cancer, but I do know, that men can also suffer from this illness.

The problem is of course, that all medical technology is somewhat damaging or hurtful. X-rays, chemo-therapy, even the medicines you are taking. Waiting for something that makes testing painless, is like waiting for Godot.

It's not worth it to risk your life over this.
