Hi all,

I have had UC for 8 years. I just was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer that has spread to my lymph nodes.

Has anyone out there found any type of correlation between UC and Breast Cancer? There is NO family history and I do not fall into any type of groups of concern for breast cancer.

Thanks

Chris

Hi...I wouldn't think there is a correlation, at least, I've never heard of it being so.

Regarding the so-called group types for breast cancer, it seems that's only a guideline, there are always rules that cancer ignores.

Some family history is ignored, for there is also the paternal side which is posibly not considered Maybe it's possible for someone to carry a gene but not be affected...but the gene be passed on. If the situation is condusive, let's say in a female rather than a male, then it might not be able to be traced down the line.

I have a friend with inflammatory and another kind of breast cancer..3 of her sisters are also affected. I worry about her daughter and hope that she is knowing of all the warning signs or even does some genetic testing, etc....but I doubt that will happen.

I hope your treatments are helping you...was yours caught early?
Do you mind me asking what specific kind of breast cancer it is you have?
