Good question. No weight problem for me, even tho now my clothes are getting tight and it is more from lack of exercise and slowing of metabolism at age 54+.
I know dozens of women with brest cancer and very few of them are overweight - or ever were. The reason I know so many is that I have become active in Team Survivor Northwest and this is a group for the purpose of getting back and staying in shape. Based on the premise that a fit person has a better chance of beating their cancer. There are 'chapters' of Team Survivor in other states.
Even before my cancer I knew some 7 or 8 women (ALL younger than myself) who faced breast cancer and none were overweight. Know of only one women who had to fight two times that is still very large.
