Reason Im asking all this is because my Grandmother had cancer, and my father had cancer all in the same place (colon), so I am a little paranoid...I know using AAS will probably increase my chance, but I figure Im gonna get it anyways so I just need to keep goin for checkups to identify it at an early stage
in my opinion...the benefit would outweigh the risk in this situation. Colon cancer has not been linked to a hormone receptor response, therefore hormones "should not" have much play in this situation. Keep in mind that any chemical/energy source has the potential to cause DNA strand degragation, which in turn will lead to cancer (think sunburn and skin cancer). If the nolva were to cause cancer due to its hormone effect it would be in hormone receptive tissue...i.e. not the colon. however it's chemical attributes may still contribute to the colon cancer.

Cancer is really really tough bro...trying to explain hormone responsive tumors vs. non-hormone responsive malignicies is really really hard to do i one paragraph. Hopefully i've helped at least a little bit. If someone expresses an interest i will whip up a much more comprehensive article to post up.
