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

Putting my cell phone in my bra instead of attaching it with a phone case to my hip!!!0 -
Well... I believe that I got it from Baton lessons...er..uh..no...it was Piano lessons! Yep! That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

i only put the cel phone in my bra one time, but i was tortured regularly with those bristly wirey black & white curlers, and tape on my forehead. and the stress of hiding pants in my locker to put on in the bathroom, cause i was a real tomboy, and all other girls were allowed to wear pants if they wanted too. my ol mom wouldnt let me though, so the stress of having to be sneaky? did me in....
curlers and rigid proper moms....

Guilty of phone in bra...but no more! Now wondering if sitting in front of my PC at work for so many years..hummm
Nah, all that sun worshiping topless...

Shorfi, it's not the phone in the bra - if you'd had it n your hip, maybe you would have gotten hip cancer!
I didn't use OJ cans - my mother got the small cans so they weren't the right size. Nope, it was beer cans in my house. It must have worked like second-hand smoke, though, since one sister used the beer cans and the other 2 of us got BC. Either that or the beer cans protected her.

Light bulb moment: I spend several hours a day with my lap top on my lap. All those electrodes so near my ... ugh...girl parts. Please tell me that that doesn't cause cancer "down there." I've already donated two breasts, don't want to be cut up again.

Played accordion from around age 8-18. Pinched my left nipple with bellows numerous times. Must be what caused my cancer in my left breast. Either that or all that bad accordion music.

I got it over the phone in the middle of the night from work They weren't even good phone calls
BUT there may be a pattern here. I tried playing the sax and that sounded really bad too.0 -
Yep, see a pattern going. You really don't want to hear me on the piano. I think you folks may be on to something. Think we can get some funds, I mean megabucks, to finance our research? I think we can really do some major damage to this disease if we were only able to spend a good amount of time on the beaches of Hawaii brainstorming.

Hahahaha... the accordian Monis, too much! LOL!
LOL patoo... you would not have 'even' wanted to hear me either! We should be seeking financing...what, with the vast array of knowledge here, and the time and effort into the research....my, my, my...the hours of research!!!
Oh...and MelissaDallas,...(I thought of you, and this was a hoot!....)

Violins? That just might be the cause for me. Two daughters learned to play the violin when they were in elementary school. Their teacher came to our house, I couldn't get away from the squawking...years of it. Yes, violin practice can damage more than ears.

See, now girls have a better excuse for not practicing...but Mom, it will give me cancer! Boy, were there times when I was about 14 I wish I'd had that excuse.

Jan, I was actually really talented, but I can imagine the early years are pretty painful:)
0 -
Wow Monis, and I thought getting the hickey-looking abrasion from the chin rest was bad!

Melisssa - Fellow accordion player?
0 -
Alive, That is hysterical!! About as close as I'm ever going to get. Shhh thought I was the only one that played the straw violin.
I think mine came from being a hippie when I was young. All that peace and love, and the bass guitar I use to play must have been the vibrations. Yeah that's it.

No Monis, the edge of the chin rest (kind of a cupped shape hard plastic piece) on a violin rubs up against your jawbone and makes a sore:)
What I really want is an autoharp. To me it epitomizes the pure fun & happiness of my elementary school music class & the lovely woman who taught it.

MelissaDallas, noooooooooooo, playing music causes BC. Didn't you read that just above in the other posts. Don't do it, please, as we don't want to have to guide you through more treatments. Do yourself a favor and also spare us. Thanks for understanding. (didn't know they used chin and jaw rests for instruments).
Hmmm, maybe ignorance caused my BC!

Too funny Patoo!
Here's what a chin rest looks like:

Ladies, this explains a lot for me. I took piano lessons for 8 long, horrid years. Can't play a lick, but I can still find middle C. Do you think the key C is related to "CANCER?" By the way, I can't play the radio very well either. When it comes to music I am a complete failure..... so I married a talented musician. He doesn't have cancer.

Lol ladies this is to funny !!! I of course also heard it all from friends why I had it....but I answer I know why. I like many others suffer from ESL .....Extremely Shitty Luck !!! Could have started with my flute lessons I suppose !!!

annika, I love ESL. I think we should use it when we publish our findings

one of these days , with everyone's consent of course, i would love to print out this whole thread and give it to my onc, and tell him some of us women have discovered the real reason of why we've gotten breast cancer. because i know he care deeply, and tries very hard, and i love it when i can get him to laugh or smile. i think he would laugh out loud about this thread. We would become famous! i love this thread!
oh, and i think part of the reason i got bc, is because i secretly think i am better than a lot of people, and wanted to be famous about something, anything, for almost my whole life! Duh,& mwee ha ha!!

You have my blessing, Kath. You know most doctors probably suffered through childhood music lessons too. I'd put money on it.
0 -
i so wanted to suffer through music lessons! and i also wanted to suffer though ballet, or gymnastics! alas! i suffered from the lack of all these things, soooo.... it must have been the sadness of the LACK of all these things, that gave me bc..... or the colored ink on the funny pages...
0 -
I'm sorry Kath. My folks were both school teachers & despite not having a lot of money prioritized things like music lessons.
Mama had both of us before she turned twenty & I admire how hard they worked. They both went back to college full time while daddy worked night shift 3:30 to 2:00 a,m. while we were little. I don't know how they did it. She stayed up to see him and feed him before they went to bed, so neither got any sleep before starting the next day.

that is kind of how my family was too, but there was never really any money to spare as there was 5 of us kids! but it was okay! i got really good at drawing, and climbing trees and running, and even kept a journal for years. and eventually i got to teach myself how to paint, and when i went to college(only two & 1/2 years) i learned silversmithing, that i still do once in a while. i really should get back to it. i wonder if that's why i got bc? cause i did not do my real love stuff, and got all caught up in the world's demands.....

Aha, hard work, I think we said it early on, hard work, or was it house work??? Either way, hard work causes cancer in your kids so MelissaDallas blame your parents, and house work that we did just caused BC to come out full force! (thanks for the pic. next time I see someone with an instrument stuck under their chin I will know it's there)
kathec, you have my blessing as well. We probably don't know the right people but I bet your MO has connections. Just make sure he shares the take, and residuals, with us. (how do you print out a thread anyway?)
Renee51, your DH doesn't have it because he, being talented, learned to dodge the middle 'C'. Too bad you married him after you had already been exposed.
