Hi there does anybody out there come
across a connection between breast cancer
and lupus? I had a double mascetomy last
april and there is no breast cancer
history in my family. I also had uterine
cancer 6 years ago and had a hysterectomy.
I was just wondering if there is any one
else who has had this. Carolyn

Hey,
research has shown that there may be a
connection to lupus and cancer. I have
had a cancerous lump removed from my
shoulder area three times so far. I have
also had breast biopsies and I am supposed
to go back to have a recheck of that
situation. There is no breast cancer in
my family either. So, I am quickly
becoming of the mind that there really is
nothing that lupus doesn't affect in some
way or another. I know that really
stinks but if you learn to live each day
as it comes and be aware of what your body
says to you, and also be familiar with
what comes along with this perplexing
desease, it eases a bit of stress. Good
luck to you.
