The authors found that Weggies are 4.8 times more likely to have bladder cancer but they are not 100% confident of that risk. They are confident that Weggies are somewhere between 2.6 and 8.1 times more likely to have bladder cancer.
Maybe that is related to CTX treatment which is so common with Wegs, especially as you said the report was 12 years old so they probably looked at cases where they had followed up on Wegs for quite a while.
Another thing that is worrying is that a nutritionist told me that having an auto-immunity disease means you are 5x more likely to get another auto-immunity disease.
About the breast cancer, a Weggie in a local FB group also had Wegs + breast cancer. I don't know all of the details but I think there were some problems in treating both at the same time since I think the Wegs was active. Anyway, she pulled through but I guess the treatments were quite rough.
