- Breast cancer is the most common cancer that effects women worldwide.
If you want to know the risk factors, stay tuned to the end of the video!
Modifiable risks can include - excessive alcohol consumption can increase the risk. Women who have 2 to 3 drinks a day have approximately a 20% higher risk of breast cancer compared to women who don't drink alcohol. However it is not entirely clear how alcohol affects breast cancer risk, although some theories suggest it might change the hormone levels in the body including oestrogen, therefore increasing risks.

WORRIED ABOUT A BREAST LUMP OR SYMPTOM?
FRUSTRATED AND CONFUSED BY CONFLICTING INFORMATION?
TRYING TO NAVIGATE LIFE AFTER BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND DON’T KNOW WHERE TO TURN?
Breast health has become an important topic for both women and men. But with a huge amount of conflicting and confusing information out there, it can be hard to find the advice, support and care that you need.
My Breast My Health was created to make understanding breast health easy. Whether you’re looking to learn how to keep your breasts healthy, concerned about new symptoms or learning to live post-diagnosis, you’re in the right place.
Hi, I'm Dr Tasha
I’m a Doctor, Breast Cancer Surgeon and Medical Educator. After 20 years helping people to understand and overcome breast health problems, I’ve seen first hand the fear, frustration and stress that my patients go through.
As a breast specialist with over a decade’s worth of experience, I understand finding the right information, processing a diagnosis, understanding treatment and getting accurate, practical advice as you ride the rollercoaster of emotions can be really tough.
But I’m here to help.
The internet can be a wonderful source of information but when it comes to breast health there’s a lot of inaccurate information out there. Listening to the wrong advice could cause you unnecessary worry or even put your health at risk.
So I wanted to create an accessible hub where you could find useful, accurate and reliable information from a trusted source - a Breast Health Doctor - all in one place.
That’s exactly what you’ll find here on my RUclips Channel.

Thank you doctor.
I did all the right things, for most of my life. I don't drink. I have a healthy diet, good/low weight, and was active. No kids though....
But turning 40: stage 3A lobular carcinoma, lost my whole breast & axilla & my (brilliant) surgeon shaved some extra flesh incase of spread.
Nottingham prognostic index: 5.6
Just started chemo and got a pulmonary embolism and developed vetricular arrhythmia (possibly from the EC cardiotoxicity).
You can do all the right things, and still get all this when young & relatively healthy.
Yes, unfortunately you are right. Even if you have none or few of the risk factors, breast cancer can still develop. We can minimise risk, but can’t prevent breast cancer from happening entirely.
@@drtashag absolutely. It's just bad luck, or roll of the genetic dice.
Thank you for your work on here. It's been immensely useful for me during the diagnosis & surgery process.
I've been reviewed after post-surgery scan, I am in fact, de novo stage 4. It had metastasised to my bones, likely a few years ago, as it's a very slow growing sub type (and I know I had this bone pain a few years back).
I'm fine (right now). The hospital prepared me well over several appointments to accept the diagnosis.
@@drtashag Doctor have you considered maybe doing a joint stream with, I think he's called "medical secrets"... He's a consultant pain anaesthesiologist, deeply kind....
...... I know breast cancer isn't normally painful, unless it's a large tumour, inflammatory breast cancer, skin/muscle breakthrough happening, or made nodes swell a great deal, or compression of nerves by tumour, or post surgical long term pain (post mastectomy pain, post axilla surgery pain, axilla cording), or is stage 4 and causing pain.....
My breast was painful for months before any overt symptoms of the cancer, too, but just put it down to weight changes/periods/etc.
It would be interesting to have both your perspectives: as it seems that some (non-cancer or non-anesthetics) doctors are scared to prescribe if someone is on chemo or has a complex medical background. It would allow us as patients to ask our doctors
"Might XYZ be an option for me?"
Thank you
Dr.John MacDougall says the food we eat that has pesticide hormones and food additives also cause breast cancer.I seldom drank alcohol,and ate healthy,but have dense brest,cystic breast,and am 20lbs.overweight.I have never been sedentary,yet have breast cancer.
I don't have BRCA 1 or 2, but have a lot of breast cancer in my family from my mother's side. I have been a overweight women all of my adult life. I never drank or smoked in my life. However, I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma stage 1, triple positive no lymph nodes involved. This past February at 64 years old. How does this happen?? It's confusing to me. I have had a lumpectomy, chemo and radiation treatments and am now just doing herceptin until May. I won't be doing hormone blockers. Thank you so much for your videos!! I've learned so much from you!!
Thanks so much for the info 💯🙏
You are very welcome 🙏🏽
Thank you so much ❤
You are welcome Jo ❤️
All good information but are there still women that do not have any of these risks and still get breast cancer?
Yes, unfortunately. Being a woman and growing old are the biggest risk factors.
My risk factor then is that I'm a woman. Praying I get to middle age, let alone old.
Yes, I am one of the Healthy,aticive, petite woman, had 3 kids first one at 24, nursed her for 1.5 yrs, then had 2 more and nursed them not quite as long!! Rarely drank. Ate organic as much as possible. DCIS was found in a breast reduction, atypia was found in both breasts, had a double mast and a 4mm of invasive lobular was found. I had a clear mammogram prior to breast reduction/lift surgery. Thank God I had that surgery. No lymph nodes positive, lymphovascular fluids clear around the tiny ILC. I am post menopausal a young 62 at the time. I am not doing aromatase inhibitors, I already have osteopenia and very low estradiol blood level of 11. Cannot imagine dropping my estrogen any lower. It is insane. Retired RN. It think it is all the poisons in everything now. BC Does not run in my family. I did not start my period until almost 15, surgical menopause at 46. No jabs either…
@@bchmom03God Bless you in your journey and recover of health. Your name is inscribed on the palm of His hand.
@@queenofdahouse1591 thank you so much for the reminder that Jesus does have me in His hand. I have been so shaken by this diagnosis. Just having the invasive lobular found at a small 4mm size was a miracle. It is usually not found until it has spread to nodes and sometimes beyond. It rarely shows up on mammograms or US. Grows in a straight line, no lump felt or seen. Jesus is Lord. God bless you and all who are going through BC.
Sadly, meaningless. I have zero risk factors, I should be in the negatives. 42yrs old. Organic eating, filtered water, non-smoker, non-drinker, lift weights and run, 115lbs. We use natural household and body products, avoid all chemicals, read labels and watch sugar consumption. No meds, no jabs, never birth control. Even did extended breast feeding with my naturally birthed children. And to top it off- no family hx. Was diagnosed stage 3, grade 3 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma a few days ago. Risk factors are a guess at best. Totally blindsided.
So sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Unfortunately despite all these risk factors that can minimise risk, we can’t entirely eliminate the possibility of developing breast cancer. I wish you well in your treatment 💕
It’s based on data and statistics, but it doesn’t remove the risk factor of cancer being very random.
I live pretty much like you and was stunned by my diagnosis. After surgery, chemo, and radiation, I’m on meds now for years. However, my surgeon, oncologist, radiation therapists and nurses, and the pharmacist all have remarked that my being so healthy going into it helped my prognosis considerably.
I was bitter and angry, but hearing that helped my brain accept it. You’re going to do great with this.
(If you have to do chemo, look into cold caps. I still lost about 20% of my hair, but it helped me psychologically to not go bald. )
A sharp,pinching sensation
