The question that we all want to know the answer to is, “What the heck is causing cancer?!” There are hundreds of theories that are tirelessly being studied by very smart people who wear lab coats, so I’ll leave that to the pros. However what I have read about more and more are 2 precursors which may contribute to the cause of breast cancer:
1. Low vitamin D in the system.
2. Low or high thyroid condition.
Both can be determined through a simple blood draw at your annual physical, and I highly recommend knowing. If you do answer yes to one or both, you can begin taking preventative action and possibly keep the big C away! Or at the very least you’ll be more diligent with your self exams and mammograms – all very important tools for early detection.
As a BC conqueror myself, I did have low vitamin D + low thyroid and it makes me wonder what could have been different if I had been more diligent…
