    I can't remember what's been said in the past & there are too many posts, so if this is a duplicate I'm sorry. But I'm pretty sure mine was caused by eating boneless chicken breast & broccoli. Two foods I've grown ver very tired of.

    No coraleliz, I don't think anyone listed those.  I still think it was housework, or lack thereof.  My houseplants are so dusty they have a hard time breathing in my carbon dioxide so they are probably breathing out toxic oxygen to get back at me and those fumes go directly to my chest.  Maybe if I give them some water...

    Patoo, you have live houseplants?????????? The only way I do is if my DH takes care of them. Otherwise, fake all the way.

    DS actually says they are dead and just didn't have enough energy to turn brown.  Says I'm deceiving myself if I think they are still alive.  He's such a brat, talking to his mom like that.

    Oh man, I just found this and have been laughing at all of the posts for the last hour! GREAT POST.

    I love the "naughty" notion. I knew it would catch up with me someday!

    Reviving this post! BUMP CITY!

    Hello april485, yes, must have fun to get through this journey.  I have a problem.   I still think housework is the culprit but the dust is making me sneeze.  What's a gal to do?????

    Housework? What's that? 

    I am convinced that I got breast cancer from carrying my purse on my left side.

    I'm talking about a HUGE shoulder bag weighing as much as a bowling ball. (But I was always prepared for anything!!!)

    Or maybe it was from drinking out of the garden hose....

    Blessings2011, I also carried heavy shoulder bags on my left side but my lump was in the right breast.  (hmmmm, maybe the lump took a road trip and decided to put down roots?)

    Hmmm.....shoulder bag on the right, lump on the left.... must have some significance.

    Well, I certainly now refuse to switch to the other shoulder to carry my bag.  Matter of fact actually gave up shoulder bags a while back so that means no recurrence in right breast and the left one should be safe (as long as I stop breathing in those dust bunnies that go straight to the breasts!)

    I'm not here much anymore but happened to lurk a few minutes ago and was SHOCKED to see this old thread of mine!!!!  Made me smile, so had to pop in and say hello.

    My mom had an arrangement on the dining room table filled with fake fruit...I used to like to chew on the plastic grapes.  That may have doomed me.

    Wow, gsg.  The thread is not very busy but now and again someone posts.  Always good to give newbies a laugh to relax the tension.  So glad you started it.

    when i was a kid, a dog humped my leg.

    Yep, that could be it.  When he humped you those BC cells lurking around your ankle got so disgusted that they travelled north and took up residence.  When you didn't kick that doggie to the curb they paid you back by becoming active.

    as an adult, my dog ran up and stuck his tongue down my throat while i was hanging off the side of my couch cracking up.  i dry heaved...and evidently possibly got bc from it.

    When I was a kid I used to eat those candy circles (red, yellow and blue) that you peeled off paper and sometimes the paper got stuck to the back of the candy....I ate a lot of that paper.

    Aha!  Methinks we need a survey on how many of our BC friends have owned, petted, been near or ever heard of a dog.  If we find that more than 4% of them answer positive to that survey we need to get a petition out to our congressional reps and have all dogs banned, permanently, from earth!

    All in favor?  (okay, going to take my anti-hallucinogenic meds and go to bed)

    Hmmm, doggie licks coupled with candy paper... (and dust bunnies) Might be on to something!

    This thread is not near as active as it used to be Patoo I guess every one has run out of ideas...I think that my BC was caused by years of reading all the studies that says what causes BC...the cells were so confused they just decided to go on and make BC anyway! :P

    I just wanted to bump this thread back up to the top. now that i think of it, i think thinking too much caused my bc. or maybe lust. or maybe denial of my own insanity. or laughing at inapropriate times. Anyone else?

    Hummm, Barbie (my sister & I outlawed her from our kids so they should be safe), wax lips, dog licks, mr&mrs got my man book cover writing, underwire bra or bra burning, too much Flower Power in the season of love, or that 1 guy during spin the bottle that just had the most sloppy wet slobbering kiss, or being haughty. Yeah, my parents did warn thats one day I would get mine,..I was hoping for a Porsche ...lol!


    Big Bump!

    glad I found this post cracking me up! I think my BC may have come from doing the heart thing with the initials on my brown grocery bag book cover in school or the three million orange red and yellow chuckles I ate...... If only I ate the gross green and black ones they probably would have prevented me from getting BC!
