When I first went to the breast clinic I filled a form in asking me questions like: How old were you when you started your periods? How old when you had your first child? Was I ever on the pill? etc. How come they dont ask if you breast fed your children? Or for how long? I did breast feed mine for a long time not to avoid breast cancer (obviously that didnt work)! Just because it was very natural for me but that did sometimes come into my head that I was doing the best thing for myself too. So why then? Any ideas
love Vanessa
hi mummyv,
i no when i went theey asksed me all those questions too, but they dai ask me if i ever breast fed also,
i no their is suppose to be a link between contraception, steating periods early and breast cancer,
i dunno, i have 2 children never breast fed, didnt take pill for long time, or start periods early and now im 30 and have breast cancer so i dunno, its all very confusing…
