Unless they're all really good at keeping secrets, none of them had abortions. The chances that the 4 aunts all had abortions and nobody knew it are astronomically small. I'll bet my life that my grandma didn't.
Women do die of breast cancer without having an abortion first. You do know this, right?
P.S. Could you start another thread about this or something? I shouldn't have commented on it not once, but twice now.
This is not the place.
Sounds like you have a strong family history of breast cancer. There are two genes that, when mutated, are primarily responsible for breast cancer called ... appropriately... BRCA1 and BRCA2, but there are also 7 other genes associated with breast cancer.
If I were you, I'd suggest that my female relatives get tested at least for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, which bumps up cancer risk from an average of 13pct to a whopping 80pct!
These genes are responsible for DNA repair, so if your DNA gets damaged it doesn't get fixed.
This affects men, too. SIX, if you have a mutated BRCA1 gene, you have an 8pct lifetime risk of getting breast cancer (yes, men have breast tissue too) but if you have an abnormal BRCA2 gene your risk of prostate cancer is SEVEN TIMES normal. And since prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men (except for skin cancers), it could be a significant lifetime risk for you, too!

My old man is the only man in the family that's going to make it to 70.
Most of them died in their early 50's.
I don't have a whole lot of time left in this realm.
I'm alright with that.

Very true and I reckon by about 7pm this evening the clouds will really start rolling in and then rain. Trees are already short of their leaves.
But, I do like those sunny, breezy autumn days. I hope you have many of those!
And I still like snow. Having lived in socal almost since I graduated from university means I never got burned out in the experience of having to get back and forth to work in it and, at my age, shoveling snow was fun. The quiet landscapes and sparkling snow, and especially Xmas lights shining thru and on the snow made up for the blizzards, mush, ice, shoveling and general pain in the *assedness of winter.
At my age, tho, I would probably want to escape.

Today was the first day we had sun since last Friday.
Even then, it was hard to enjoy it since when I went out running errands I had bright sun beating down in my eyes, but couldn't wear sunglasses because my wipers were also on while we were getting poured on at the same time.
Did make for a beautiful rainbow to behold, ending right down the center line of my street when I got home though.
I don't really mind fall except seeing how quickly the days get short and knowing what's coming.
Especially hearing how expensive it's going to cost to heat this year. I'll probably be keeping it at a high of 58 this year, which I haven't done for 3 or 4 years now.

I find the days are getting shorter faster and I have turn on lights earlier in the living room.
Got a little space heater I was given for Christmas a couple of years ago that I can turn on if I feel too chilly in the evening which is nice.
Looks like it is going to rain off and on all day.

I was musing on the percent of US women who'll get breast cancer in their lifetime. For some reason I thought the figure was 1 in 10. But nah! I told myself. That's too high. So I looked it up. It's actually more than 1 in 10, it's almost 13% of all women.
https://w
ww.c
ancer.gov/types/breast/risk-fact-sheet
Based on current incidence rates, 12.9% of women born in the United States today will develop breast cancer at some time during their lives.
But the breast cancer rate is only 13%.
First pregnancy abortions were already known to be the highest correlation with breast cancer. Sounds like it still is the case, despite the denials from SJWs.
https://www.cancer.gov/about-ca
ncer/causes-prevention/risk/hormones/reproductive-history-fact-sheet
Throw a ".gov" on the end of that URL and the trust plummets even further.
Think I missed the opportunity? But the reply was right on que.
And she even included the PC-scrubbed-of-inconvenient-facts linky which I implied but did not specify.
Back when that correlation was first learned, there was a huge storm of PC funds being thrown at gobs of new "studies" with pre-conclusions to disprove the facts. Overwhelming resources to thwart the reality and facts. But the real world facts have continued to prove out the correlation known long ago. Almost funny, if it wasn't so sad. So much "anti-breast-cancer" money thrown at getting more women breast cancer, it is a shame.
https://www.wcrf.org/dietandcancer/breast-cancer-statistics/
Of the nations with the highest rates of breast cancer, US apparently ranks 22nd.
On that list, curious how you don't see Brazil, Poland, Columbia, Mexico, Spain, Israel. Israel seems, from what I gather, to encourage offspring. The rest of those are highly Catholic nations.Quote:
In addition, the Panel judged there was strong evidence that lactation protects against breast cancer (unspecified menopausal status).
And from
https://www.wcrf.org/dietandcancer/breast-cancer/
another inconvenient fact:Quote:
Oral contraceptives containing both oestrogen and progesterone also cause a small increased risk of breast cancer in young women
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rank
ings/highest-catholic-population
Of the 10 nations with the greatest Catholic Populations, only USA, France, and Italy are on the top 25 list for breast cancer. And that France entry might not count, not sure of the "metropolitan" notation - perhaps France as a whole does not rank in the top 25. These are the most aggressive abortion nations.
Of the 10 nations with the greatest percentage of Catholics, only Italy ranks in the top 25 of breast cancer nations.
Golly gee whiz, the nations with the lowest abortion rates also have the lowest breast cancer rates? Say it ain't so, Sally.

So, o just looked it up. The average lifetime risk for prostate cancer for men is 13pct, just like the average lifetime risk for women is 13pct for breast cancer.
If your risk is seven times higher with BRCA+2 mutation, that's a wopping 90+pct risk!
Can be detected with PSA (prostate specific antigen) screening, via blood samples.
The overall risk for men is high lifetime exposure to testosterone. Men who started producing testosterone early (longer lifetime exposure) tend to have shorter legs relative to height, bc once they start puberty the growth plates in arm and bone legs fuse and stop growing bone length.
Until....
Quote:Good call.
This is similar to women. What is associated with breast cancers is a high lifetime exposure to estrogen. Early puberty increases the risk,
Quote:FIFY. Also, this contradicts your assertion that abortions don't really increase risk, when breastfeeding and abortion are mutually exclusive. Having first pregnancy just for the purpose of interrupting it via abortion is what actually INCREASES the risk. Having the4 first pregnancy COMPLETED is what has been found to decrease the risk.
while COMPLETED pregnancy and breastfeeding (reduce the risk)
It seems you are shooting yourself in the foot when you accidentally include actual facts into your denials.
Quote:here your claims are contradicted by WCRF.
(stops estrogen production), and chronic under-nutrition reduced the risk.
I don't know about men and hormones, but for women being fat also increases the risk, since fat cells also produce estrogen.
https://www.wcrf.org/dietandcancer/breast-cancer/
Quote from that link:
"being overweight or obese in young adulthood (between the ages of about 18 and 30 years) DECREASES the risk of premenopausal breast cancer
being overweight or obese in adulthood before the menopause DECREASES the risk of premenopausal breast cancer"
Quote:
And, in general, drinking too much can increase the risk of both breast and prostate cancers.

Yeah. Heating is one of the very few reasons I sometimes miss the apartment lifestyle.
My house is pretty much wide open, being a tri-level. I'm only able to close off two of the bedrooms from the rest of the house, but by doing that I also close off 1/3 of the heat vents in the house as well.
A space heater could cost me a fortune to run since I'd be heating the whole house with it. As expensive as natural gas is going to be this winter, it would still cost more to heat the place with electric.
