I was diagnosed with B.C. 8 months after my youngest daughter was born. I remember the surgeon saying that they used to think the prognosis was poorer when women are pregnant when they are diagnosed.
There was also contraversy about when to have biopsy or mastectomy in the womans menstrual cycle. I forget when the best time for surgery was supposed to be, but I think I remember I had mine at the wrong time.
I have also read that abortions done in the first trimester can also cause B.C. It had something to do with the breast cells being immature and the radical change in the tissue caused by the abortion. These changes could also occure with misscarriage in the first trimester.
My mother claims the dry-up pills they gave her to dry-up her milk after she had her children caused her to have breast cancer.
There are so many variables you could make yourself crazy about it. If we only knew what our lives were going to be, I don't think any of us would get out of the bed in the morning.
Love and Blessings
