Ive always been a social drinker only. I dont drink at home at all and post treatment plan to limit to special events. Yeah its a risk factor but actually when i went through chemo i drank a lot of water and i found hydrating properly really good and im keeping that - seems slightly in conflict with drinking.
I think bc is probably related to hormones. I had a lot of hormone issues and i suspect was oestrogen dominant. In tge 5 years before bc i went off all birth control and emotionally it was a roller coaster. Maybe this contributed to stress or ability to manage stress?
Why does one person get it over others, who knows but cancer isnt a modern day problem, mummified egyptians have been found with cancer i read somewhere. Modern day stressor are probably different and could contribute but any number of things could.
Why do our cells grow out of control and not get killed off in some people. I have friends who have alway binge drank and they are seemingly fine
I think its a kind of silver lining that i now am choosing different things, managing stress is one of them. I knew my lifestyle was hurting me but i felt stuck. Could lifestyle have affected my hormones, yes i think so.
