i have never heard that size increases your chances

No, breast size has nothing to do with it.

Being fatter, ie having fat cells that are able to produce leptin, increases the risk that any breast cancer you get will be metastatic. Consuming enough sugar and simple carbohydrates so that you trigger release of insulin is necessary to make cancer grow, so avoiding high glycemic food in the diet, avoiding getting fat, improves your chances of avoiding all forms of cancer. It does not entirely remove the risk. Avoiding becoming fat does often mean that breast size will be smaller.

You are not at higher risk of cancer, maybe a theoretic risk based on breast fat but it's minimal. The one thing it does put you at more risk for is tougher breast exams/mammograms simply because of the size of the breasts. This may theoretically "increase" your risk by missing smaller lesions. That being said, when you're time for screening starts (around age 40), be very vigilant and do your screening regularly.

No. Having large breasts is not a known risk factor for breast cancer, and no breast cancer information website or charity lists it as such Through breast cancer support networks I have met many, many women with breast cancer and most have not been large breasted. Women of all shapes and sizes get breast cancer. Being overweight, especially after the menopause, is a risk factor (not a cause); but most people diagnosed are of average weight. When I was in hospital for my breast cancer surgery, I was the only one of the eight women there who was full-breasted, in fact the only one who wasn't small breasted Breast cancer, like all other cancers, happens when normal cells change so that they grow in an uncontrolled way. This uncontrolled growth causes a tumour to form. It's hard to see how the size of your breasts could trigger that process
