I developed Breast Cancer in 2001 at the age of 43. I had been taking the Pill on and off since I was 16 because of a "Hormone in Balance" as the Dr's like to say. I lived a good healthy life style but my diet consisted mostly of "Soya Products". After my Stage 1 cancer was diagnosed I was fortunate to go to The Haven a West London Breast Cancer Rehabilitation Centre where I was told by a Nutritionist to stop Diary Products and Soya Products which I did. I was put on Tamoxifen which after 18 months made my health worse than before cancer.We are railroaded into taking these drugs because we feel vunerable. My lady gynocoligist really listened to me she was preapred to take me off this drug and Thank God my health has improved ten fold. I try not to eat any processed foods and drinks, but it is becoming increasingly frustratiing that Soya is now included in most food products. There is good and bad Soya, I agree with this findings and more women should be aware of these facts.

I think scientists are overstating the value of diet and exercise and understating the importance of other factors. I have breast cancer at age 40, and yet I was extremely active with dance, yoga, bike riding etc. I also had, my friends have said, the best diet of anyone they know. All of this did no good. I think my cancer was fuelled by the extra estrogen from the birth control pill. I don't know why the doctors don't emphasize this more (fear of lawsuits from pharmaceutical companies?) I am struck by the smugness of the above comments, as I believe I was like that too before my diagnosis.

While no one would deny that optimum nutrition and exercise will help prevent disease, I do so hate to see things like 90% of sufferers have only themselves to blame. I have seen so many non-smoking, non-overweight, health conscious people die of this terrible disease. Being told that their lifestyle choices caused it must be very upsetting for those who mourn them. Similarly I have seen fat, nicotine addicted heavy drinkers living into their eighties. Life is not always fair and to criticize cancer sufferers for bringing the illness on themselves is not helpful.
