Chance of cancer

As per Angelina jolies boob removal

lets pretend money is not an issue.

I totally would. Cancer is literally my worst fear.

Yes, Dad left me at 17, I would be a different person if he was still around. Love my mum though Xx

I thought a bit about it, and then voted yes, with the proviso that it was a bit of my body I could safely do without.

I mean like breasts, testicles..that kind of thing

Yeah I know Hayley, which is why I voted Yes. I can do without breasts, and never had any testicles anyway .

im pretty sure i did at one point. i am much to manly! lol

If it was cancerous then yes, but would i have it off on the off chance erm probably not

I was a tomboy too, but never quite had the balls for it

If breast cancer ran in my family - if my mum, aunts, sisters etc contracted it, then I would have no hesitation tbh. They are easily replaced with plastic and would be SO fashionable (I know that's a flippant comment and apologise in advance).

but if you knew that you had an 80% chance of breast cancer, would you

I would, though I'd probably still cry

breast cancer DOES run in my family as does many many other things, still won't make me do it

No.

my grandmother had it dunno anymore than that.

honestly i would already love a boob job anyway so yeah if there was a genuine reason behind it too, i would feel even better

Sorry Ella - a sensitive issue and I apologise again for being flippant.

Ultimately, for me it would depend on my specialists' opinions on the % likelihood of me developing breast cancer and their recommendations.

Oh i wasn't offended so no need to apologise

2 aunts and my momma, have all contract BC, and well my mum has everything going but on my mums side anyway they are a very ill bunch, almost all the males are diabetic, 2 had lung cancer, alot suffer with blood clots (mum included) and thats just a start, so lets just say cancer doesn't scare me.

I'm so sorry to hear about your family's troubles Ella. ((((Hugs))))

thanks lynda

From a man point of view I think I would decline unless I could get some plastic ones to scratch instead , about all they get used for these days but seriously I'm fortunate enough to not have any history of testicular cancer in the family so don't have to make a decision like that , thank god

It's a yes from me they'd have to go if they're was even a remote chance, after my sis-in-law being diagnosed on 22/08/2011 and goin through hell I'd have them whipped off.

No.

But if there was a higher than normal chance then I'd be extra vigilant & would bother the doctors at the slightest provocation!

Can always rely on Dave Im not too sure. Although testicular cancer doesn't run in the family, my old man had mouth/throat cancer, and seeing everything he went through with ops and chemo etc etc for it then to be terminal don't think I'd go through with it.

If it was a really high percentage then probably yes, definitely yes if I had a family to consider.

High percentage and I would be there having whatever it is taken off .. mind, if I was older and did not have the same family responsibilities I do now my answer would change though.

I'd have what ever cut off, my dad died of lung cancer, took 3.5 years of watching him get weaker and sicker everyday, wouldn't wNt my daughter seeing that.
