Breast Cancer Question

I just saw a segment on CNN, that has me pretty confused. In the segment they were discussing a correlation between abortions and Breast Cancer. The person trying to support this theroy did not come across with convincing evidence. CNN presented information that clearly indicated this correlation is very very very questionable. However, one fact did come out that has me concerned. The person claiming the link between Breast Cancer and Abortions based that link on the assumption that an interrupted pregnancy leaves a women in a state of hormonal imbalance, specificly in a state of Estrogen domance. This caught my attention because I have pcos and have had endometrial hyperplasia due to Estrogen dominance. I have been treated and do take agystin now. None of my doctors have ever said that women at PCOS are at higher risk for breast cancer. I have also never seen any thing about this in any liteature I have read on PCOS. So my question is Is a person with PCOS at great risk of breast cancer? OR should I watch less CNN?

Thanks mj
