I do believe that there is a link between lupron and breast cancer. My mother had a large fibroids that Dr's wanted to shrink so they gave her Lupron. Three months later she was diagnosed with breast cancer. 1st person in the family to have cancer. Ok, my mom goes through her treatments and remission for a 3 years. Then the dr.'s want to treat the fibroids again because they are the size of a grapefruit. So they put her back on the Lupron. 1 month later guess what? Her cancer comes back. That is too much of a conscience to me. I think that is some people, Lupron may simulate the body and cause cancer. But that is only My option!
