What were the chances of getting it again?

Over the course of a lifetime, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.

Risk factors you cannot change include:

Age and gender -- Your risk of developing breast cancer increases as you get older. The majority of advanced breast cancer cases are found in women over age 50. Women are 100 times more likely to get breast cancer then men.

Family history of breast cancer -- You may also have a higher risk for breast cancer if you have a close relative has had breast, uterine, ovarian, or colon cancer. About 20-30% of women with breast cancer have a family history of the disease.

Genes -- Some people have genes that make them more prone to developing breast cancer. The most common gene defects are found in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. These genes normally produce proteins that protect you from cancer. But if a parent passes you a defective gene, you have an increased risk for breast cancer. Women with one of these defects have up to an 80% chance of getting breast cancer sometime during their life.

Other genetic defects have been linked to breast cancer, including those found in the ATM gene, the CHEK-2 gene, and the p53 tumor suppressor gene, but these are very rare.

Menstrual cycle -- Women who get their periods early (before age 12) or went through menopause late (after age 55) have an increased risk for breast cancer.

Other risk factors include:

Alcohol use -- Drinking more than 1-2 glasses of alcohol a day may increase your risk for breast cancer.

Childbirth -- Women who have never had children or who had them only after age 30 have an increased risk for breast cancer. Being pregnant more than once or becoming pregnant at an early age reduces your risk of breast cancer.

DES -- Women who took diethylstilbestrol (DES) to prevent miscarriage may have an increased risk of breast cancer after age 40. This drug was given to the women in the 1940s-1960s.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) -- You have a higher risk for breast cancer if you have received hormone replacement therapy for several years or more. Many women take HRT to reduce the symptoms of menopause.

Obesity -- Obesity has been linked to breast cancer, although this link is controversial. The theory is that obese women produce more estrogen, which can fuel the development of breast cancer.

Radiation -- If you received radiation therapy as a child or young adult to treat cancer of the chest area, you have a significantly higher risk for developing breast cancer. The younger you started such radiation, the higher your risk -- especially if the radiation was given when a female was developing breasts.

Breast implants, using antiperspirants, and wearing underwire bras do not raise your risk for breast cancer. There is no evidence of a direct link between breast cancer and induced abortion or pesticides.

Haven't you heard? everything causes cancer nowadays

I heard some shit like 1 in 3 women, that's bull. I also heard something about 1 in 6, that's believable, but still extreme, then I heard that 1 in 6 women will get cancer, and the most predominant cancer they get is breast cancer.

Here is my cure for breast cancer, and I swear to god it probably works: stop drinking tap water and stop taking birth control pills. It's all these hormones that are in the water system, women throw away their birth control crap, and where does it go? into the water supply, and what about all the animals we eat? they all have hormones in their food too, and it's going into us. There's some evidence too, like girls nowadays are like starting their period when they're like 4 and getting breasts when they're 6 (and no, they're not fat ). But yeah, we've gotta stop with all these hormones.

LOL, please state your sources for such information. If you know the cure then why doesn't the American Cancer Society? Or all the other organizations searching for a cure.

Please stop spouting bullshit till you post some facts that have legitimate sources.

Some factors slightly increase your risk of breast cancer. You may be at slightly higher risk if you:

*
are obese (especially after menopause)
*
drink alcohol
*
take birth control pills (the Pill)

Some women develop breast cancer without having any of these risk factors. Most women with breast cancer do not have a family history of the disease.

jeez no need to take her literally what she said has some merit but its not a definate cure, im sure it helps though

The lifetime probability of developing breast cancer in developed countries is about 4.8%, according to the American Cancer Society (the probability is about 13% for any type of cancer). In developing countries, the lifetime probability of developing breast cancer is about 1.8%.

This is how bullshit gets spread around the internet.

My mom had breast cancer, went on Kemo, fought it off like a champ no problem. 3 years later they found cancer in her bones I spent the summer and fall of 06 taking care of her at home while watching her waste away to nothing, i didn't know she was dying, i didn't realize my mom wasn't a superwoman yet. I yelled at her once for not trying hard enough and i don't remember if i apologized, i'd like to think i did. But we spent those days listening to my music and seeing what she liked, what she hated, what she thought was just weird. We played Chess, watched CSI together getting all caught up in Grissoms epicness. By the last week she wasn't talking, just wheezing, i don't remember how often i talked to her when she was like this. I stayed outside a bit late one day from school cause my siser and uncle were there taking care of her, when i got inside my dad said i couldn't see her because she'd be sick all day. So i waited in the hall and then she died. My dad said she calmed down a when I walked in the house and that she was just waiting for me to be there so she could move on, i'd like to think that.

thats my story...
