Let's conduct our own study on how we all got breast cancer

Tomboy

mine was because of the stress of them being there at all, because i was such a tomboy, and they had kinda grew over night, and i was embarrassed about them, and started slumping to hide 'em, and grew my hair longer to hide 'em, and also began to carry books in front a me.

So kathec you squeezed them and caused some of the cells to get so crushed they morphed into BC cells.  See what vanity caused!  And school books - those things are dangerous, actually teaching kids - what's up with that!  HA, education is detrimental to your health and may be a primary cause of BC.  Don't let your kids carry books.

Then the cure has been found!!!!!!! Kids don't even know what books are, it's all lap tops now.  

Hortense

My BC was probably caused by a horse nudging me too hard in the chest. They were always bumping their heads or their muzzles deliberately against me to get my attention, or a carrot.

Or, maybe it was all the sugar I ate all my life? Cookies, candy, cake, donuts, sweetened tea, jam, jelly,  ...YUM!

I pretty much did everything they say leads to BC, so no surprise there. I still think chemical exposure when we were younger had a lot to do with it. Look how the incidence is increasing.

okay ladies, who ever used the Tickle deodorant? " staying drier is nicer with a little tickle" little did I know that this roll on deodorant would give me cancer! But I really loved that cute and colorful roll on.

But did it really 'tickle'?  Or were those really little substances boring into your underarms and making their way into your breast tissue.  I smell a lawsuit but then you need to have your receipt or old container to prove you really used their product.  No evidence, no big payoff.

Hortense, I think those horses were pretending to want a carrot but were paid under the table with buckets of oats (they eat oats, right?) by big pharma so you would get BC and need drugs.

You know patoo, if you are still playing around with that C causing piano, doesn't that worry ya?

Oh, and no tickle here............................but the deodorant was pretty cool!

mss

I was the youngest of three children and the youngest of 5 girl cousins that lived fairly close.  I think it was all the hand-me-downs that I wore.  The fabric had probably gone through some serious metamorphosis by the time they got to me.  Or maybe it was the stress of looking extra dorky sometimes.

Then mine must have been from getting pissed off from my sister and mom wearing my clothes, makeup & jewelry. Every time I went to put on a pair of earrings there would only be one because Sis had 3 holes in one ear & 2 in the other...

mss - That was my life, too.

I just realized,, it was all the Southern Comfort and TAB that I drank at college football games.

bettysgirl

i can see where any firm control panty hose would cause bc...those angry cells in your thighs attacked!!!!!!!!

Mulligan

I breast fed all 4 of my kids the last one my boobs grew from a size 34D to a alien size 34H. I could pump out milk like a champ. My sister would joke her milk looked like skim and could barely pump out 4 oz while mine looked like whole milk and I could put out 12-16 oz, so basically aliens abducted me and pumped my breast milk full of steroids.

Vadre

Woah! It's a good thing I wasn't eating Spaghetti Oo's when I saw the kid freakin' about the Easy Bake Oven! My computer never would have been the same after that spit-take!!!

Good Mornin' Ladies, I'm new to this particular thread. I've been working for days to catch up. How great are y'all?! I'm glad I've found a place to keep us laughing...I know that laughing is one thing that did NOT cause bc!!!!!  Thanks for helping to keep my spirits up. Hoping it's Ok if I jump on in....

I've laughed at many of the memories here, blasts from the happy memory of childhood. So far though, I gotta say that Aliveforfive has it, hands down as far as I'm concerned!!

P A N T Y  H O S E!!!

 I'm with you... gotta be all those nylon-torture-devices!

Vadre, that might be a part of the equation but the main culprit, as Patoo has been kind enough to tell us, is housework. No question.

I was feeling guilty that I had passed the danger onto the young woman who I hired to clean for me (especially since she's someone I've known all her life) but then I remembered that doing it for pay protects you.

Leah

glennie19

Leah,, that is correct!!  If it is a paying job,,, you are protected!!!  We all need paid housekeepers.

Hortense

Can't be housework, because I never do it! Could it be all the dust that I keep collecting?

mrenee68

Hortense - it could be the dust, I seem to have a lot of it. Every time I dust 5 minutes later the dust is back, I can't get rid of it. You might be on to something.

I personally think my husband always wanting to put his hands on them had a lot to do with my BC. He was told to stop repeatedly but I guess I was never forceful enough...tee hee. I figure all the ink he touched at work doing his paperwork seeped through to my breast tissue from his fingers. HA!

Imheretoo

It's dust collecting!! dust collecting!!

AZ85048

It's because you're right handed, even if you're not!  

JAN69

Washing dishes!  Just think of the chemicals in that green or blue liquid! 

Anonymous

No, see it's housecleaning because you dust.  If you don't clean, don't dust, then the little dust bunnies stay on the furniture and are not disturbed,  But when you try to beat them into submission by cleaning it causes them to fly into the air where we then breathe them in and they attack.  But I agree that being paid negates the threat so I need to find someone to pay so I can stop this annoying sneezing.

Alive4Five

*sheesh!  Well, ok. Dust.......

And...possibly all that dang candy on Halloween! If you have commenced to stuffing yourself once a year, beyond *bleh!...the chances for BC intensifies drastically!

....(dusty nylons!)

Alive4Five

Leah - No question, eh? hmmm, I had no idea it was decided. 

Ha! I used to clean houses too, even with pay, was no protection. Dust is dust...no question.

Anonymous

Oh well then, better not hire anyone to clean.  Wouldn't want to be part of another person's brush with BC.

Notbuyingit

i'm not a big house cleaner...especially not dusting...unless someone's coming over i was a big fan of Halloween candy tho!! it was all those homemade treats we got that are now banned! curse all those women that took  the time to make brownies, popcorn balls & taffy apples!! wait! it was that candy in the black & orange wrappers - what WAS that? i don't think i actually ever ate it tho...

M0mmyof3

Think mine came from all the lousy factory jobs I worked in and being surrounded by chemicals with weird names.

JAN69

Oh dear,  My poor cleaning lady.  She's done all my housekeeping chores for about 20 years.  She still appears healthy.  She's even coming today.  Hmmm, I think I'll "forget" to tell her.  It's a shame because she's such a lovely person.
