[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ladies - don’t have kids so late in life. Studies show there is a very strong link to breast cancer. RIP Kelly[/quote]

Disbelieving. How could there be a link?[/quote]

I don't think the link is age per se. The problem is to have a kid that late in life, you probably have to undergo a lot of medical intervention.[/quote]

It actually is both: age and hormones.

Pregnancy gives your body a break for 10 months (plus breastfeeding). Google it.

The articles also indicate that ivf treatment includes a mammogram (presumably because of the link), so cancer is often detected earlier. [/quote]

Pregnancy gives your body a break from what?[/quote]

The cyclical, hormonal shifts in estrogen and other hormones that happens monthly when menstruating. As well as a reprieve in the shedding of the uterine lining (where cells have opportunity to mutate and potentially turn cancerous) in uterus. I think there is a small heightened risk for breast cancer about a decade after childbirth, then it levels off and over time i think more births are protective.  I do not discount the death of her son either. Adverse stressful events in the years before diagnosis is a real thing. Google or see previous link. She may have had the BRCA gene. She has had a great life and some very real trauma too. [/quote]
