I'm interested in the link between taking hormones to stop one's growth and BC. I took hormones for two years (age 14 - 16) because I hated the way I looked. I was 5.9 and weighed 106 pounds, so I was really skinny. Now I stopped at 5.11 in stead of 6.2. I would be ok with that now, but when I was 14 I really felt like a freak.

I have wondered about the chance that it could have influenced my developing BC.

Hmm. Glad my Mom is no longer around to have to struggle with that. She would have felt very guilty for letting me take those pills if she'd found out.
