Hi my mother has just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer, and is starting treatment this week. Luckily we have been told it is in very early stages and once removed she will need radiation treatment for 6 weeks only.

Im not sure if this question is correct for this forum or not. My sisters have told me that i will now have to cease taking the contraceptive pill. That once Breast Cancer is in your family it is not safe to continue taking this form of contraception.

I was hoping that some of you may have heard similar, or know for definate if this is the case.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
