Lets conduct our own study on how we all got breast cancer

Billy Jack! I LOVED that movie! I wanted to die, too!
I think it was:
smoking unfiltered cigarettes in the movie theatre
definitely sniffing the mimeographed pages! (try to explain THAT one to your kids, they think you are kidding!)
hanging upsidedown on the swingset with a dress on
playing that game where you make a human chain and then call somone over to break it...?
hopscotch
jacks with the little red ball
pick-up-stix
paddle balls
all those silly games with jerky arm movements!
eating my Incredible Edibles (that plastic gunk!)
EZBake oven foods
Oh man, I could go on and on.....Chatty Cathy, Dip-It (the coloured film that filled in a wire mold)

Hola hoops and bell hops along with ca-bangers LOL

Lol@ all the hairspray in the 80's. I totally stopped using hairspray, No more plastic water bottles, No more lean cuisines for me. Organic veges and Vitamin D sups now everyday.No more chemical household cleaners either. I remember the bug sprayer coming through our neighborhood on a regular basis in the 1970's in the summer months. We can all drive ourselves crazy with the,"what if's" I do know I am sick of my boobies at this point and the problems they have caused me!!

I think I got it while jumping around in my new slippers. Dad was shooting BB guns in the basement, and a ricochet caught me in the leg and stung like ninety. Some lead probably deposited in the dent in my leg. It was Dad.

Please tell me it's not the Kleenex!!!
I haven't gotten a prothesis yet, and since the remaining side is so small (AA is big on me) I AM STILL USING KLEENEX!!!
It's not the Kleenex
It's not the Kleenex
It's not the Kleenex
It's not the Kleenex

Oh, I suppose it's just because I'm such a bad person............

Oh me too for that! At least according to those nasty old catholic school nuns way back when! If only I hadn't stepped out of the procession line when I lost my shoe in 2nd grade. She was right, God punished me!

Otter, as usual, I think you've discovered something clinically and statistically significant here. The KLEENEX gets my vote too!

I agree - it was the wax lips and, sorry to say, it was the Kleenex.
No, sorry, take that back. We were too poor to afford kleenex so it was toilet paper (because you had to have toilet paper but kleenex was a luxury!)

I agreed, defiinitely the wax lips and those yummy tiny coke bottles. BUT- I'm sure mine came from sitting too close to the tv watching Rinky Dink. You ordered a sheet of plastic which covered the screen and then you colored on it! Really showing my age, I bet none of you remember Rinky Dink! The only other possibility was eating oatmeal cookie dough, made with Crisco!

Hmmmmm, eating anything made with Crisco! No, that didn't give me BC, but I bet that's why I now have belly fat!
So, maybe it was the rays emanating from the tv when you put the red, yellow and blue(?) sheets in front so you had "color" tv. Yeah, I bet it changed the rays to x-rays that zapped us poor little kiddies just sitting in front of it watching Howdy-Doody(sp?), Popeye and Betty Boop!
Oh man, so many things - Archie comics - that's suspect too!

Probably the ink in the comics!

Well, I'm just POSITIVE that mine came from sneaking raw hamburger meat (much to my mother-the-dietitian's dismay) and also the flouroscope machine in the children's shoe shops (do you remember? you stood on it, stuck your feet under and then looked down at your green-boned feet). Still not sure, however, how the bc jumped upwards. Certainly defies the law of gravity.......!
Mmmmm -- still remembering the smell of the mimeograph machine, Barbe!

I think I have the answer!!! Its because women hold their flatulence in too long. So that our spouses, bosses, parents, friends, coworkers, strangers won't hear us RIP ONE! HAHAHA. sorry if that has already been said, i didnt read through all of the posts!

How about Kool-Aid? My mother thought it was a food group growing up so that was our drink of choice. Probably the red Kool-Aid as it was my favorite.

School hot lunch. Especially the mystery meat

Cheese Whiz, it is only one step away from plastic! Ate tons of it when I was a kid, would still now, except I know it is not good for me. Crap now craving a cheese whiz sandwich!
0 -
Better yet, pre-packaged cheese and crakers. Combine that with powderd milk, and perhaps some Spam on the side . Ok skin crawling now LOL

Canned 'corned beef'.
- Why do I crave Cheeze Whiz all of a sudden?

Hi ladies,
I was just having some 'cries' with my 'waaaaamburger' and started reading this thread. Thanks for the giggles everyone!
By the way, I blame my mother.... if I wasn't here I couldn't have 'caught' it!!!
It was probably all the 'you SHOULD do this, you SHOULD do that'. Guess I SHOULD have listened.......
Hope you're all well,
Anji

Nope, housework - always breathing those little dust mites.
How about high heels - they could have done it. Had my body totally off-center all those years so of course my cells would get screwed up.

I like this thread!! I have a whole list of things.
deodorant, plastic, sweets, Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, alcohol, diary products ( i love milk and cheese), stress, PCBS which after a class action lawsuit it was found that I have some in my system. I could go on and on and on. Ladies you get my drift. Every now and again someone takes it upon themselves to solve the dilemma by telling me what caused my cancer. LOL.
Anywho, I just think that we are the unlucky ones whose bodies just could not fight off the rogue cells thus breast cancer.
But I'm still gonna live, laugh, and love. You wonderful women and men have a Blessed Day.

Nope, I think Patoo had it right, housework. Dust mites, cleaners, sticking our hands in toilet bowls to clean. Women of the world unite and ban any further housework!!! Do you realize I have not had breast cancer again since I was diagnosed and stopped doing housework, coincidence, I think not...
0 -
I think Patoo and pk0199 are on to something! Housework must be the culprit!
I think Patrice (gsg) subconsciously guessed this too -- after all, she started THIS thread...
...AND the one about not being able to give a fig about cleaning your house! ("I can't get my act together and I don't know why".... Maybe now we know why!!! To ensure our future health!!!)
EDIT TO ADD: Anyone who has known me since adulthood (ex-husband, ex-boyfriends, boyfriend, son, mother, boss, ex-boss, girlfriends, ex-girlfriends, ex-roommates) knows that I have not exactly spent my adulthood CLEANING HOUSE! Or even clearing off my desktop at work! But... I maintain that all the housecleaning I did in childhood, adolescence, and in college, was more than enough to admit me into this sisterhood!

Nylons? Did any one say that yet? Bras, I say we meet up on some nice beach and have a bra burning party.

Potted meat, .....sorry

ravdeb, that was "Chrissy," not "Tressy" doll.
I cut off her hair when the grow mechanism stopped functioning.That's probably a factor in why I got it.
Humor aside, I think I was genetically primed and a large and deep life stressor set it off.
So now, I push my stressors back out the door when at all possible... two legged stressors and otherwise.
