I was on continuous birth control pills from 1996 after my daughter was born for bad endometriosis until the breast cancer diagnosis in 2006. I have always felt like the pills contributed largely to my breast cancer. My doctors kept trying to get me to go ahead and have my ovaries out years before to get rid of the endometriosis. I wish I had them years ago but I can't go back. The first thing the oncologist told me when I first saw him was to "get rid of those pills, you are feeding your cancer daily". I know though that God has a plan and purpose in my life for everything. When I start getting focused on the why I turn to him in prayer for comfort.
