You know I just wanted to tell you that breast cancer's middle name is estrogen. Yep, I think the hormones have a lot to do with breast cancer; ironically, endocronologist as well as gynecologist ignore that. In fact, the GYNs give out birth control like candy to young women, surely increasing their estrogen levels and putting them at later bc risk.

By the way, I saw a live webcast from 2004 SABC that mapped estrogen levels in women via serum levels and fifteen years later observed that those with the highest levels, years earlier, were the women who got later bc development. Amazing, maybe doctors should be following estrogen levels in women rountinely in order to help mark which ones may be at current or later risk.
