I'm interested in this topic myself. I must say that I too started birth control pills for irregular cycles in my teens and stayed on them for birth control after marriage. Thought it was okay since it was low dose pills and although cancer ran in my family, it wasn't a pattern of breast cancer. As some of you regulars know from some of my posts, I was diagnosed with HER2 cancer at 36. Not triple neg like this article however. But my use of birth control is on my "what if" list.
