Rebif and Breast Cancer

I was misdiagnosed with MS in 2007. I took the Rebif injections until the first part of 2011. I have heard a lot of talk that Rebif could possibly cause cancer. Now I had an abnormal mammogram. There is no cancer in any of my family. Is it possible that Rebif could cause breast cancer?

Thank you for commenting, I read the literature also. I just know that all of the MS drugs that he had me on is not good when you don't actually have the disease.

I see nothing in the drug literature that would incidate Cancer as a side effect of Rebif injections. There are considerations concerning the liver but even that was not cancer related. Althought family history of BC is a factor, it only accounts for a very small percentage of diagnosed cases. Regards...
