During my wife's pregnancy she partook of progesterone in order to prevent pre-term labor. She was originally taking progesterone pills without any issue. At about 20 weeks she switched to a Progesterone shot. Within a few weeks a lump was felt in her breast, which quickly grew, requiring ultrasound, biopsy, and now chemotherapy.
I could not find much information on Progesterone shots causing cancer, but it seems that Ray Peat had information about it which seems to indicate that it may actually be somewhat protective.
My wife was perfectly healthy, had no family history, and was the lowest risk factor on all the scales. So it is odd that the cancer developed after receiving the Progesterone shot. Her cancer was positive for estrogen, her2, and progesterone.
The Oncologists refused to comment on it, as did her OBGYN and GP, as they all seem afraid to, just beating around the bush when asked.
My question is, does anyone have any information on this? Any research or papers? about the only thing I could find was here:
Estrogen, progesterone, and cancer: Conflicts of interest in regulation and product promotion.
I attempted to find a way to contact Ray Peat directly, but could not locate any information, but it did lead me to this forum.
Thanks in advance!
