My wife and I have been through the same situation a couple times. It sucks in a way worse than anything can suck. Prayers.
This study is specific to induced abortions, which are not stillbirths or miscarriages. From what I've read over the years, the risk is not thought to be the same. In the case of stillbirth, this would make sense to me, because the breast tissue has undergone all the normal changes associated with childbirth, and not been interrupted partway through. I worry about the effect of miscarriage, but in all my miscarriages, the transition from apparently normal pregnancy to miscarriage was gradual. It was a sense over a couple of weeks that things just weren't moving forward, confirmed later by ultrasound. I never felt like the bottom dropped out of my hormone levels or that there was a drastic change in how I felt. Without knowing the exact mechanism for cancer development, I tend to think that a natural winding down of pregnancy hormones has to be different in its effect from a sudden hormonal change precipitated by traumatic fetal death.

Oh, I’m so sorry that you have had to go through such a terrible ordeal, and more than once. Thank you for your prayers and I will return the same kindness for you and your wife. Having witnessed the pain that this young woman and her husband are experiencing makes me sadder than I have ever been. She is a strong person, stronger I’m sure than I would be under similar circumstances but, as I mentioned in my earlier post, the tears have flowed unabashedly.
