A member asked:
I stoped breastfeeding, still got some milk but wraping my breast to dry it, what are the chances of getting a cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No Worries: There is no relation between the cessation of breast milk production and the development of breast cancer. Of interest, women who breast feed have a slightly lower incidence of breast cancer (the younger, the better).
