    Since I don’t know any statistics I take heart in your experience. Who wants my twinnie getting this beast. One of us is enough.

    Gotta be something warren…..i’ve often wondered why they don’t study identical twins where one has blc and the other doesn’t. What is the link?…I know of 3 cases of identical twins where one has it and one does not. Only thing separating them is the area they live in and occupation.

    How about occupations related to medicine and health (OR 2.17; 95% CI 1.21 to 3.92)? It doesn’t specify related to radiology where radiation may be an issue. Maybe I’ve finally found teh risk factor that did me in.
