Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hello Dawna, I also took estrogen replacement therapy for 4 years. Probably like putting fertilizer on a plant. I know it was partly the cause and I also had cancer in the left breast. I don't know why either but I was trying to see how many women are right handed. It seemed like the left handed persons had cancer in the right breast or it could be just a coincidence.

I will definitely go and have this checked by an ocologist as soon as I get the results of the mammogram back. It is my LEFT breast that I am having trouble with.
