This one caught my attention.

In 2015 my (now ex) girlfriend was diagnosed with TNBC. I obviously researched the hell out of it to gain as much of an understanding as I possibly could as a non-medical professional as I'm sure anyone would, and most of my reading suggested that it was mostly African American women and youngish white ladies who tend to get this.

As far as I know, she had used permanent die at least once in her early twenties. Thankfully less than a year later and after chemo and surgery, she fully recovered.

Sorry to hear this. But are you implying one single use of hair dye could have caused her cancer?

You're rolling the dice every time you do something that increases your cancer risk. Cancer doesn't have some sort of threshold where you get it.

So yeah, it could have caused it. Is it the likely cause? Maybe not.
