I have written here before about my friend Charnette Messe http://reclaimingourchildren.typepad.com/lumina_a_ray_of_light_aft/2009/05/charnette-messe.html who has breast cancer which has not spread to her brain and believes it is a result of an abortion she had when younger. We also had a few women in our ministry who have had breast cancer, one of whom has since died.
If you read about abortion and breast cancer it makes complete sense that it would have a factor..I am happy that more and more research is being done and more and more professionals concer that abortion significantly increases the chance of breast cancer. Please keep Charnette in your prayers...

A team of scientists made the claim while carrying out research into how breastfeeding can protect women from developing the killer disease.
While concluding that breastfeeding offered significant protection from cancer, they also noted that the highest reported risk factor in developing the disease was abortion.
Other factors included the onset of the menopause and smoking.
The findings, published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, are the latest research to show a link between abortion and breast cancer.
The research was carried out by scientists at the University of Colombo in Sri Lanka.
