Isnt it amazing, now I am one of those annoying people who are always mouthing off about never having flu or colds and i dont.
Just read today in the paper that a Gene has been found which fights flu but may also cause breast cancer. Which is what i have/had and it goes on to say the gene is vital to antibodies that combat such infections as the common cold, but it can turn deadly if set off by the hormone oestrogen! I am on arimidex now for the next 5 years.
It was interesting and exciting to read as it proves all the walks we do for breast cancer eg, breakthrough/moonwalk etc and I did do these before i was diagnosed, the money we raise does help with research into this dreadful disease.
It would be a miracle if a cure was found for all cancers in our lifetime i hope i live long enough to see that as headlines in the newspaper.
Just wanted to share this bit of info to fellow BC ladies.
Take care
