I was just curious because there has been a lot of talk about there being a connection between abortion and breast cancer. And .. while it has been “quietly” ignored - I’ve always wondered if there was really anything to it.

My thoughts - I sincerely believe a link could be possible because one of the first signs a woman is pregnant is that her breasts begin to prepare for milk production (and milk is full of protein). The breasts become enlarged, or swollen, and painful to the touch.

When an abortion takes place .. the breasts could potentially experience a traumatic effect when the body suddenly signals that the new milk production is no longer needed.

It may seem like a wild guess for any of my statements, but when they said it was a “protein” which made the breast cancer spread .. it only seemed more possible to me to connect abortion and breast cancer.

If people disagree with me - fine!

Did you read comment# 6?

This protein appears involved with the epigenetics of metastasis, i.e. distant spreading, not the initial tumor.

I was 28 when I had breast cancer...never pregnant. It ran in my family for three generations (that I know of).

Please keep your poisonous speculation to yourself! You hurt many people like me!
