I was wondering about the occurrance of male breast cancer & homosexuality. Any links between the two?
don e asked:
I was diagnosed several years ago with male breast cancer. 2% of the population gets it from what i have been told. I am wondering if there has been any studies linking the fact that I am gay with this disease or the increase of its occurrance. TIA.

No link between the two.
absolutely+no+link+between+gayness+and+breast+cancer.++It+is+just+cancer+of+breast+tissue.++Even+males+have+some+breast+tissue.++The+increase+in+breast+tissue+may+be+due+to+pituitary+oversecretion+of+prolactin+due+to+a+pituitary+tumor+%28prolactin+secreting+tumor%29.++But+even+this+does+not+have+anything+to+do+with+breast+cancer+in+males.++It+is+just+breast+cancer+and+you+unfortunately+are+in+the+2%25+who+get+it.++Just+get+treated+for+it+without+any+other+worry.++All+the+best+for+recovery.
Unless you’ve been taking hormones to make you more feminine, then there is no link between male breast cancer and homosexuality.
