I think there are three main causes of my breast cancer.
Genes
Sleep
Alcohol
1. Reason for Miss BRCA
The BRCA mutation gene that I have
has a 50% chance of being inherited.
Can it be inherited by skipping a generation?
(Grandmother O - Daughter X - Granddaughter O)
I asked an oncology professor,
but she didn't seem to know much about it.
Like this it's not well known in Korea,
and research hasn't been done much,
and there's still no perfect treatment.
There are some differences depending on type 1 and type 2,
but the probability of developing breast cancer increases by about 70%,
ovarian cancer by about 40%, and other types of cancer increases.
This seems to be the biggest cause of the disease.
(Miss Brca is a nickname my sister gave me
after I found out I have a mutant gene. LOL, I thought she was crazy...)
So if you have a family history,
I recommend you get a BRCA test.
It's a blood test, and if you have a family history, it costs about 200,000 to 250,000 won.
The results take about a month.
If it turns out to be a mutant gene,
I recommend that you don't claim actual loss insurance just in case,
and that you have enough insurance.
At least 1 comprehensive insurance, 1 CI insurance (serious illness), 2~3 cancer insurances.
And I hope you get a breast cancer test at least every year from your 20s.
Fortunately, if you don't have BRCA,
I recommend at least 1 comprehensive insurance, 1 CI insurance, and 1 cancer insurance.
Even though there is a special calculation system,
during the treatment period, you can't work properly,
and you only have to spend money without earning money,
so it is important to receive as much diagnosis money as possible.
Before you get it, you should definitely check whether breast cancer receives general cancer diagnosis money.
Since it is often classified as a minor cancer...
(I'm not an insurance planner...)
These days, internet insurance is also well-made,
so you can find out and choose from among the large insurance companies.
Because you don't have money? You have to get more because you don't have money.
2. Sleep is about the biological rhythm,
and if your rhythm is disrupted, doesn't it affect your health?
I think I slept at least after 1 AM,
2~3 AM for several years before I got it.
The life of a self-employed person... is a series of hardships.
I once read in a post by a cancer patient
that cancer patients in the ward were awake until dawn.
It's still hard to have a regular life,
but let's make it a habit to go to bed as early as possible.
Let's put our cell phones away before going to bedTT
3. Alcohol
'Some ingredients in alcohol have anticancer effects,
so one glass a day is good'
Absolutely not!
A university hospital's recommended lifestyle for cancer prevention
says that it's best to not drink alcohol at all.
Especially for Koreans who have low alcohol metabolism,
it's a carcinogen in itself,
so please don't enjoy it...
If you can't avoid it, limit it to one glass of soju
one glass of beer
but I know that's impossible...
Let's just stay away from it as much as possible.
I think I drank alcohol when I was bored for several years while sleeping late.
I drank with others and drank alone.
I especially regret drinking alone.
With this messed up biorhythm, alcohol in the blood,
lack of deep sleep, BRCA genes, etc.
I became a cancer patient in my 30s.
Of course, there are other causes such as stress, environmental hormones, and eating habits...
Without genetic diseases, going to bed early,
and abstaining from drinking,
We can prevent many diseases.

I hope everyone is healthy and happy.
If you are a patient, let's overcome this together. let's go for it!
