Does menopausal hormone therapy cause breast cancer or not?

I am a 51-year-old female perimenopausal woman. My mother got breast cancer when she was 40 (long before her menopause at 52). I have heard that premenopausal breast cancer is different from postmenopausal breast cancer. I am wondering if my inherited risk factor will decrease after menopause?
