Nooooo way lol. That was an old fashioned accidental pregnancy through and through.

I also have breast cancer. This is a hot topic in some of the breast cancer groups. A lot of women, when they’re diagnosed, want to know what they did to cause it. And I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a link to IVF. But I will tell you, as a young, healthy woman who breastfed, exercised, conceived naturally, doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, etc…. Sometimes it’s a crapshoot. My tumor was hormone negative (meaning hormones weren’t the problem in my case).

NP here - hi PP, I am in Bethesda and was just diagnosed with BC a few weeks ago. If you have any good local resources, FB groups, support groups, could you please share with me. I am hormone positive by the way, and tumors are in my left breast. Never smoked, took drugs, hardly ever drink etc, but did IVF and did get covid waxed multiple times.

Highly doubtful. Her conception gave off one step away from one night stand vibes.

Not even one step away…definitely not IVF

Are you the same illiterate nutjob who posted on the other thread about this?

Most women don't have a proactive Ob-gyn like she does. She's very lucky. Glad it was caught early enough.

My best friend was diagnosed with breast cancer when her baby was nine months old. No hormones to conceive, and she breast fed.

the better takeaway would be early diagnosis saves lives - let's be vigilant about our health.

This happened to my aunt. Normal mammogram and just a few months later, diagnosed with breast cancer.

I was surprised to learn that 20-30% of women have breast cancers missed by mammograms. I know it's a screening and not a diagnostic test, but that still seemed like a rather high number to me.

“In February of 2023, in an effort to be proactive about my health, I took a genetic test that checks you for 90 different cancer genes,” she began. “I tested negative for all, including BRCA (the most well-known breast cancer gene). My sister Sara had just tested negative as well. We called each other and high-fived over the phone. That same winter I also had a normal mammogram.”

“Two months later I was diagnosed with breast cancer,” she continued. “In the past ten months I have had four surgeries, so many days spent in bed I can't even count and have learned more about cancer, cancer treatment and hormones than I ever could have imagined."
