Reply to comment by ReneDeGames 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’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.

Yeah my boss is actually pretty great and works with me a lot on keeping reasonable deadlines. I will just tell them no go on things sometimes and have adopted more of a “it’ll get done when it gets done” attitude.

I do have a pretty generous leave package for most Americans. But I like to take a decent break roughly every quarter rather than all at once. I get about 4 weeks a year plus other random holidays and paid sick leave. I also have a toddler in preschool so I take my sick leave a lot.

When my work load is overwhelming, taking time off just usually means it will be completely untenable when I return. I much prefer to take vacation when things are slower, and I’m caught up so I’m not overwhelmed when I return to work. It’s present me trying to look out for future me.
