Well, my case supports that statistic. I nursed both mine for about 9 months and my tumor is grade 3.

Interesting... This supports my case too - breastfed all 3 for 2 years each and found my lump while breastfeeding my 3rd ...

Me three, I breastfed all three, had grade 3 stage 3. Breast fed the last baby for twice as long as the other two.... diagnosed not long after finished breastfeeding our youngest. I tell ya, my hormones were really wonky too. But we three have different er/pr's......

Yep, fed mine for 15 months albeit a long time ago. Mine was grade 3 stage 3 as well.
