Breast Cancer and Women who have not had children

I am new here and just been diagnosed with stage 2 cancer. Been going through all the usual: How could this happen to ME  with my lifestyle etc." Futile. Then a friend reminded me of the statistics of women who have not had children and how we are at higher risk. Feels like a punishment really. I didn't have children because my husband couldn't and I moved on and embraced a non biological child-free life with hundreds of children and young people in it anyway. And here I am with breast cancer. Wondering how many other women here can relate?
