Great opportunity.  Please, however, don't say breastfeeding PREVENTS
anything.  That just isn't true.  What is accurate is to say that
breastfeeding reduces the risk-or better yet, that not breastfeeding
increases the risk.  As soon as you make such an absolute statement, you
start getting the "But my sister..." or "But research says....." "But I
know someone who...." etc. etc.  Then the other things you say get
ignored as people think "If the article was wrong about that, how can I
trust the other information".
This comes from one who had breast cancer in spite of nursing-the last
one for over 2 years.  There are others in this field with similar
stories-and we're burying our co-worker tomorrow who succombed to breast
CA in spite of nursing 4 children including twins.
In spite of these experiences, I will still say unequivocally that your
odds of getting it are greater if you do not breastfeed.
