Can the pill cause cancer or other illnesses?!


Question: Can the pill cause cancer or other illnesses?
I've been on the pill for nearly two years but I've been reading and hearing about it causing cancer. I know that they say you shouldn't be smoking or things like that because it can increase this risk. My doctors have been telling me though that in general the pill is safe. What's true?

Answers:

Research have shown the following with contraceptive pill:

Higher increase in
- Breast Cancer
- Cervical Cancer

Lower increase in
- Ovarian Cancer
- Womb Cancer
- Bowel Cancer

But honestly, is not taking the contraceptive pill worth getting knocked up? Because at the end of the day, every types of contraceptive methods has their positives and negatives when risks of cancer is in the question. And the risks of cancer does not include everyone.
