Gosh! Dont you just want the big wigs to read this forum and see what the reality is and how far away from apple chopping it actually is! All so much more accurate than what they portray on the news!
I'm 26, diagnosed at 25, never been too sporty, very rare binge drinker (birthdays!), I smoked for a while, went through various stages of being lazy then exercising, pretty average weight and pretty "normal" lifestyle me thinks....which leaves me wondering how I fit in to this new research!! As for cause, I'm bring BRAC tested and also participating in a research study for other genetic causes (I'm adopted so family history is a mystery)! Now, if they're telling me that I've drunk too much and made it more likely that i would get bc I may have to bop someone in the nose with my hard expanded boobies lol!! it sets such a bad example and level of understanding to the public who don't know what its like and groups us into a category where some element has been self-inflicted......purrrrlease!!! Yea, you can be a health freak and still get breast cancer, it does not discriminate! The focus needs to be on cause and promoting a good level of lifestyle for all without everyone going crazy vegan, wheat free, dairy free because really, how are we expected to get through this without a bit of chocolate and a glass of wine without the guilt that we should be cycling 30 miles beforehand!! (although I probably should having just signed up for a 130mile bike ride for the Coppafeel charity who raise awareness of breast self-exams in young women )!!!
Ooooh I feel better for that rant....!
