Diana Dyer, author of the Breast Cancer Diet (outlined well in RhondaH's post of the same) had a cancer radiated as an infant. She attributes both bouts of breast cancer as an adult (one breast at 34 yrs old and a totally new breast cancer in the other breast about 10 yrs later) to the radiation. I believe this can be a clear cause.

Many young women (in the early 20s) with lymphoma or Hodgkins get bc later due to the intense radiation.

Kindest regards
