I want some information on it please?? If you could help me out on these..??
*what causes it
*do you have to be a certain age,[for example at least 30 years old] to get it?
*is it true that you can only get it when you haven't had sex for a while because then you're not making a hormone (or something) you need?

The cause is uncertain. There are many factors that increase the rate at which the cancer spreads, i.e. estrogen receptive types of cancer.
There isn't a certain age. I've had friends in their late 20's and had patients all the way into their 80's.
There are a few risk factors that can increase your chances of breast cancer.
Studies have shown that women who breast feed their children are less likely to get breast cancer.
Of course if you have a family history of breast cancer you are at a much higher risk.
The best thing is earliy detection. Do a self breats exam EVERY month. And if you have a family history of breast cancer then you should get a mamogram every year starting at te age of 40, and sooner if you suspect a problem.
Whether you have or have not had sex for a while has nothing to do with breast cancer.
The Susan G. Komen breatst cancer foundation I'm sure has much more information on this subject.
I hope I've helped to answer some of you questions.
