Re: HPV vaccine may cure BC

Barb, Your comment about thinking BC begins as a virus takes me back to when my daughters had mono. One Dr.'s gave my college daughter steriods to help her along. Another Dr. would not give my 14 year old daughter predisone because she said the jury is still out. The mono virus should run its course. There is some studies that may show an increase in cancer with steriods at a young age. Now I wonder if she may have been refering to breast cancer. You would think I would have asked sitting there bald in the midst of breast cancer treatment.

I had mono at age 13. It was allowed to run its course and I got breast cancer.

Love,
Dana
