Certainly not to belittle the disease, but I don't know the catalyst to breast cancer. I know why cancer is a big issue relative to smoking cigarettes. Is this a genetic issue is something in the water, so to speak? A very close friend of mine suffered this, but it is not the easiest set of questions to raise. Please inform.

It is more the female hormones, and the amount of tissue in the breast, compared to juniors, or men. It would also be a malfunction of the endocrine system, and it is hereditarily predisposed.

There are a lot of factors. Women in the past didn't wear bras. Women in the past didn't wear deodorant. Women in the past had no choice but to breastfeed their children. Health issues definetely weren't so well documented in the past so we can't really tell what was going on a few centuries ago. Of course if someone in your immediate family was diagnosed with breast cancer then you are at higher risk. We do, however, have a chance if we are to get diagnosed with breast cancer at least we can fight the good fight where women before us, weren't given any hope at all.

Most products today contain harmful chemicals which do have the potential to cause cancer. Plastics, canned foods and pesticides that are used on crops are some common examples of such things.

Good Question. As far as I was concerned this "Thing" was growing and I didn't feel it. No Lump, No Pain, No Nothing. If it weren't for my annual Mammogram I would have no clue that it was even living in my body. How did it get there? It wasn't genetic...I thought I got it from my Father, and His mother, and Her mother, but it turns out I got it all on my own. Lucky Me. Something in the water? I only drink bottled water...could be anything. I DO know that my Calcium levels are too low...maybe that has something to do with it.

Nobody knows what causes breast cancer - though there isn't a scrap of evidence to link it to diet, deodorant, bras or water. And smoking isn't a risk factor for breast cancer. The first documented case of cancer was of breast cancer, from ancient Egypt in 1500 BC. The details were recorded on a papyrus, documenting 8 cases of tumours occurring on the breast. What risk factor for breast cancer are women exposed to that they used not to be exposed to in centuries past? Easy peasy - age. Like most cancers, breast cancer is a disease of ageing. The average age at diagnosis is a little over 60, and 80% of those diagnosed are over 50, with only 5% being under 40 and fewer than 0.1% under 30. Until recently most people simply didn't live long enough to develop cancer, including breast cancer Only 5 - 10% of all breast cancer cases are hereditary, and they are due to a rare inherited faulty gene; breast cancer dignosed after the age of 50 is even less likely to be hereditary. One in eight women will develop breast cancer over a lifetime of around 80 years. For most people, having one, two or even more relatives who've had breast cancer does not increase the risk of breast cancer
