What does not seem to be mentioned is whether or not the women’s family has/had a weakness for cancer in the first place. Some may be genetically inclined that way.

I saw an ad for a mens medicine or something that talked about serious side affects for wives and children... dang

DES has been blamed for cervical cancer in DES babies for years. Didn't know about the connection with breast cancer. Of course, without DES many of these women would have been miscarriages and never lived to begin with.

The (hormone) pill is associated with a 50% increase in the rate of breast cancer in women. Where is the class action suit?

[Jim from C-Town]

Much more likely that the use of chemical hormones to keep the body from becoming pregnant are to blame. Particularly in women genetically predisposed to breast or other cancers.

With ALL the sisters getting breast cancer, it would be more likely that they where exposed to some other source. Radon in a former home. High tension power lines (remember that one!) but More likely BIRTH CONTROL PILLS. No one can tell me that ingesting massive doses of chemical hormones daily for the majority of a persons adult life will have no effect on their future health!

Just remember all the dumb asses that are concerned about hormones in cows milk and GMO foods, yet never seem to worry about the whopping doses of lab made chemicals that are now in the drinking water from fifty years of women pissing it out into the water supply. Ethanol oestradiol the primary chemical in birth control pills is fifty times more concentrated than Estrogen and passes through sewage treatment and into the water supply. It has been linked to a loss of fertility amongst fish populations and the possible 25% decrease in male fertility since 1970.
