One in eight women in the UK will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some stage in their lives. (The disease is increasing at the rate of 2% per year).
This becomes one in six if they ever took the pill, one in five if they took the pill into their 30s, and one in four if, like 10% of women, they took the pill into their 40s.
A 5-year HRT test was stopped in America in Autumn 2002 after only 22 months as levels of cancer had risen 27 per cent.
There are many other factors that increase the risk of breast cancer. In the majority of cases, possibly even 90 per cent of cases, the cause of breast cancer is linked to excess oestrogen in the body. So one of the first questions to ask your doctor is, Is my cancer hormonally responsive?
If it is, start by cutting the oestrogen out of your life.
