"Surviving breast cancer is no guarantee that a new cancer won't appear in the other breast. However, research now suggests that women can build their own personal armor to at least partially protect themselves from this occurring.That's all it takes.
All it takes, says Dr. Christopher I. Li, is to 'stay at a normal weight, don't smoke, and drink in moderation.'
The research, headed up by Li at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, Washington, suggests that obesity, smoking and drinking too much are all risk factors for breast cancer in the opposite breast -- also called the 'contralateral' breast -- of women who've had an 'estrogen receptor-positive invasive breast cancer.'"
Are the extra Calories really worth losing another breast over?
Still, I think, an extreme way to shed the weight.
