Reply to comment by Eightiesmed in Any type of hormonal contraceptive may increase risk of breast cancer: according to an analysis of data by researchers at Oxford, progestogen-only hormonal contraceptives may increase breast cancer risk by 20-30%; the use of combined contraceptives may also slightly increase breast cancer risk. by aiaaidan

I'd rather lower my risk of urine and ovarian cancer. I can check myself for breast cancer regularly, I can't check my uterus and ovaries regularly.

Manual checks don't work. I am a metastatic breast cancer patient and the tumors were very tiny and undetectable manually. They had already spread to my lymph nodes when cancer was detected with ultrasound and mammogram after experiencing pain.

How did you find yours? I'm too young for insurance to pay for a mammogram.

I had pain and requested an ultrasound.

Well not with that attitude. Just get up in there and feel around for lumps. Jk
