Breast Cancer Causes



Share Emailz

I can relate to your wondering about the psychological implications of "expecting" to get cancer. I'm a BRCA2 carrier and a previvor. I watched my grandmother, aunt, mother, and 2 sisters battle breast cancer. We lost my father to pancreatic cancer. While having a double prophylactic mastectomy and oopherectomy significantly reduced my worry, I now find myself enrolled in a pancreatic cancer screening study. The combination of BRCA2 and family history of pancreatic cancer leaves me feeling like a still live under some shadow. I don't let that stop me from being proactive with my lifestyle however, but like you, I have a separate psychological relationship with the idea of cancer.

Breast cancer is not a result of wearing bras or how your breasts are fondled or touched.

Breast cancer is caused by cancer cells. The theory that bras cause cancer is not supported by evidence.
