Bras and bc risk...

Well, I came across an article suggesting bras MAY help lead to bc. I found that the idea of constriction of breasts from bras, interrupting lymphatic flow, was an interesting concept. I recall that my smaller breast, the one that I got bc in, always had my bras riding up over it right in the spot that I got bc in...interesting. Applicable links for dressed to kill...

Well it may make you at risk but not the only one. I have not worn a bra for 15 years except for the rare occassion. I wanted to know if the fact that I didn't wear one increased my chance but this article relieved my brain. lol
