Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 I grew up eating organic vegertarian food, no smoking by me or anyone around me. I got breast cancer at 36. Why? Because five other women in my mom's side of the family had it. There is no doubt about the importance of heredity! C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 , Some factors may play a bigger part than heredity. For breast cancer, the most significant ones, in addition to environmental toxins, are related to chosen and/or learned reproductive behaviors. Here're some of the risks: 1. Having no children or many children. 2. Having one's first child at the age of over 23. 3. Not having breastfed one's children, or having breastfed them for a short time only. 4. Not having been breastfed as a baby, or having been breastfed for a short time only. 5. Wearing a bra for extended periods of time every day. 6. Monogamy; few sexual partners; no sexual partners. (Nuns have the highest rates of breast cancer of all professional groups.) 7. Oral contraceptives. 8. Underarm deodorants; regular underarm shaving. 9. Environmental toxins. 10.Depression. If one or more of these apply to all of the women in the family who got breast cancer, heredity as an explanation might be redundant.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 About the AMAS blood test, please note that it is not a " tumor marker " test, which is why it is so much better. I agree with 's skepticism of tumor marker tests -- they can reflect a condition other than cancer, such as inflammation and/or infection. Unfortunately, many probably think they do otherwise and they have expectations that simply cannot be met. This is one of the more common myths, misconceptions, and misunderstandings about cancer.
