This is to the FReeper women who might be able to answer my inquiry of why breast cancer is so prevalent today:

I understand medical science now believes breast cancer has a correlation to women who choose not to breast feed their infants until the age of 18 months; if so, why is there so little information about the dangers of NOT breast feeding available in OB/GYN offices? Also, there appears to be a higher incidence of all types of cancer in both men and women who choose not to exercise, and it must be pointed out that Elizabeth was a bit on the heavy side!

My prayers are with her, however; no one deserves such an incidious fate!

breast feeding does seem to protect against Breast CA. But I have a relative who nurses three babies and got it. It isnt' 100 percent protective. And perimenopausal breast Ca has a better prognosis I do believe.
