I think my breast cancer was caused by two risk factors:
1. being old
2. having breasts
Irony aside, I practice good health habits just to feel ok day to day, rather than believing that will confer longevity or immortality. The Roman philosopher Seneca notes that people put a lot of stock in small amounts of time--months, or a few years--when from the vantage point of let's say a star or a mountain these are pretty meaningless! I guess I want us all to take good care of ourselves, while realizing a fair amount is up to chance.

Thanks for the funny comment! A nice way to start the day. Iv'e always wondered why those foot xrays the shoe stores had didn't cause cancer in the 50's. We kids would run inside the store every chance we got to take a look at the bones in our feet.

I agree, there are many different things that could or would contribute to our getting cancer. I was young and had breasts.
With all the vast amounts of study and research, all of the other risk factors “can contribute to” but we all have breasts. It is the one absolute common denominator.
