I had the opportunity to talk to one of the nurses at the National Cancer Centre (NCC) and learnt that the following are considered factors contributing to breast cancer. Note that breast cancer is not limited to females only. NCC has records of several males with breast cancer.
Early starting age for menstruation (for females) - aged 12 and below
As a solution, young girls are encouraged to engage in sports or be more active physically to
delay the onset of menstruation.
Late birth of first child - aged 30 and above
Mid-night shift
Stress
Anger
Insufficient rest
Diet
Lifestyle
(I am sure there are others too.)
In her book, 'The Pursuit of Life', Dr Lai Chiu-Nan mentioned that 'various medical studies have shown that emotions and illnesses are linked'.
The book also mentioned that 'depending on the nature of the emotional shock or conflict different cancers would result'. Like
fear of death - lung cancer
conflict between mother and children - cancer of left breast
other conflicts - cancer of right breast
conflict over territory in the workplace can induce - cancer of the colon
repressed anger and bitterness - liver cancer
loss of sense of worth due to change in job status - bone cancer
conflict with close family members - stomach cancer
trauma involving water - cancer of the kidney
It is an interesting book and I don't think I should mention more otherwise I will be in trouble for copyright infringement. Dr Lai's website is : http://www.lapislazulilight.com/index.php
