My mom died of breast cancer and I’ll never use hormonal birth control again for this reason.

I mean, make your own judgements of proper risk, but the headline makes it sound much worse than it is.

I’ve made my own decision based on research and value assessment. This article is nothing new to me or any new information I haven’t already known for literally years. But I certainly don’t need a random person on the internet making assumptions about how I make decisions and telling me how I should live my life. Literally nobody asked you.

And saying it’s not that bad to someone whose literal mom died of the same cancer is one of the most thoughtless and tactless things I’ve heard. My risk is extremely high at baseline.
