Re: For those interested in a cure

The idea of a virus or (viruses) is interesting, since not all women (and most men) do not get breast cancer. Are the ones who do get it, getting it not only because they are exposed to it and someone else might not be, but because those persons happen to be in addition more susceptible to it? Maybe they are especially more susceptible to it around the time of menopause, due to hormonal changes?
