Gina,
Thank you for speaking out about this.
I may be a little off base with what you were getting at with there being a connection between bc and bacterial infection, but here are my thoughts. Since my diagnosis I truly had wondered if some kind of infection or virus could have caused my bc. About three years prior to my diagnosis, I was fighting off sinus infections. Same time every year. I'd get antibiotics and go on my way. The year prior to my bc diagnosis I was diagnosed with a strep virus. Mind you, I grew up never having any illnesses other than the chicken pox and I got the flu at about nine years old. Otherwise I was literally one of the healthiest people I knew! My thyroid went cooky on me about three years prior to my diagnosis as well. It all just seemed to come on pretty quickly.
My bs is currently working on finding a vaccine to stop this disease before it ever can infect anyone. I do pray very hard that this happens. I have a little girl that I worry for. All of our kids.
Hugs and Prayers,
Lexi
