in Breast Cancer #1
So, my sister had her surgery on Thursday...she is finding it hard to remember not to use her arm to do everything...

We both mentioned it was weird that both my sister and I are right handed and had the breast cancer in the right side. My other sister is left handed and she had cancer in the left side.

What is eveyone else like?? What side is the cancer compared to what hand you write with??

Just curious if others noticed a trend.

Hope all is well.

    Right handed Right breast
    Curious, my sister was left handed and had CA on the left side......

    Statistically, upper outer quad, left breast is the most common. I wonder if being left handed puts you at higher risk?
