Seems to be some evidence here.  Dr. C has researched this that more and more researchis connecting being overweight and breast cancer.  I can certainly say that my being 40 pounds overweight contributed to my IBC diagnosis.

    I just did read last night that on the American Cancer Society's breast cancer update that being overweight prior to menopause leads to lower cancer rates, and after menopause raises cancer rates.  Very odd.

    I was a mountain biker and jogger when diagnosed with IBC at age 43.
