@Janet A, thank you for your offer of help. I will let you know for sure, in fact I am quite sure I will need it. I think you and I have the same sister as mine does and says the exact same things that yours did!! I am really interested in finding out more information about the correlation between nulliparous women and BC and how being childless affects us during this time and other phases in life, i.e. growing older. I would love to join a chat that is specifically for women without children. I am sure we can offer support to each other. I have just been chatting with a Doctor who is a friend of mine and she said the following: "not breast feeding has been considered a risk factor for breast cancer not the fact of not having children" and that "Not having children (nuns disease) is a risk factor for endometrial cancer", "Breast feeding has always been cited as protective but there is meant to be a window period where breast feeding in ones 30ās may be worse than not breast feeding at all. However this is not the case in all breast cancers Nor is it even proven just a theory". I hope this information is of some interest. Regards, Ann.
