Hi @may2024, I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer. But I’m glad you found your way to Connect. There’s a wonderful breast cancer support group with members in the forum who are all here to offer encouragement and help you in any way they can.

There are so many ongoing discussions in the group but I thought maybe this would be a good conversation for you to jump into with @journey99 @crteelect @auntieoakley and many others who have been diagnosised with breast cancer.

I did find several articles relating to some of the potential side effects of hemochromatosis and there is evidence that there may be a link between this hereditary disorder and cancer. This quote from American Family Physician, “Individuals with hereditary hemochromatosis have an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal and breast cancers.” I’m posting the link to the article for you to read through. https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2021/0900/p263.html#:~:text=Individuals%20with%20hereditary%20hemochromatosis%20have%20an%20increased%20risk,of%20hepatocellular%20carcinoma%20and%20colorectal%20and%20breast%20cancers.

Wishing you well on your cancer journey. Have you begun treatments for your breast cancer?
