Large breasts, small breasts, no breasts at all. Cancer is not selective, nor prejudice, nor attacks you for being a religious believer. Cancer does not care how much money you have or what type of house you own. Cancer attacks whom ever it wants too, and my dear that could include you or even myself. Just make sure you have your yearly mammograms and pap smears to be on the safe side.

The last I heard, smaller breasts are more prone to cancer than larger breasts. That was many years ago, and detection techniques have improved significantly since then. It could have been that cancer was easier to detect in smaller breasts.

I had a Dr tell me once that was true, woman with larger breast do have more of a chance to get breast cancer. But I think all woman are at risk regardless of size.

no, men can get breast cancer, too - it's just a little harder to detect with the fatty deposits in the breast tissue.

actually I dont think so. But I did learn that more people have breast cancer that do not have it in their families. I was surprised. I thought it was more hereditary.

NO...you are prone due to genetics and environment (smoking excessive alchol etc) if you are genetically predisposed you should get a baseline mammogram. all women should do monthly self breast exams any irregularities report to md!!
