My grandma and mother both got diagnosed with breast cancer when they were 33, and my grandma only had it once, but my mother had it four times. i heard it was gentic, and i am wondering if maybe there is an oncologist that would know what my chances are. my grandma and mother both lived through all cancer(s). I am 12 right now.
oh crap, are you serious, will i most likely get it?

Tarkarri is right, and your other answerers have given you incomplete information.

If your mother’s breast cancer was due to one of the rare inherited faulty BRCA genes known to be responsible for hereditary breast cancer, then you have a 50% chance of having inherited that gene - and of course a 50% chance that you didn’t.

If you did inherit a faulty gene from your mother, that does not mean you will definitely get breast cancer, but that your chances are increased; it would mean you had between a 50% and 80% chance of developing it by age 70.

If your mother carries a faulty gene and you HAVEN’T inherited it, then your risk of breast cancer is no greater than anyone else’s.

Breast cancer is not usually hereditary - only 5 - 10% of cases are. Because your mother and grandma (I’m assuming it’s your mother’s mother) had breast cancer at a young age, it may well be that it was due to one of the inherited BRCA genes - they can be tested for this if they haven’t been alreaady. If so you will be offered testing when you are older to see if you carry that gene.

One of my friends carries one of the BRCA genes and both her adult daughters have been tested for it - one has inherited it, the other hasn’t.

Talk to your mother about this.

At your present age your risk of breast cancer is very close to zero whether your mother’s and grandmother’s cancers were hereditary or not

My friend went to the hospital due to jaundice/liver failure. We thought she had hepatitis but it turns out it was breast cancer. I know her prognosis isn't good, and that there's no cure for her situation, but is there a reasonable chance she may overcome the immediate liver failure crisis and live in better health than her current bedridden state for a little while? Or is she going to be terribly ill from now on?

I'm sorry to hear that, and it sounds bad. A HUGE part of it depends on how long she wants to live. If she doesn't want to fight, she won't last long, but she could over come it, not easily, but it's possible. Find a support book about cancer if you've never had to deal with cancer, and attempt to relate. I had to learn the hard way. My mom is healed now but she was diagnosed with Colon cancer, and I - her son was/am her primary care taker. If she decides to fight back you need to make sure that you are with her, and that you also show a great appreciation to the care taker, because it is one of the hardest jobs, and most thankless jobs on the face of the planet.
