Breast cancer is a hormone dependent tumour as well apart from Other causes and any manipulation with hormones is a risk factor for maligncy. Better to go for tubectomy if family is complete or use barrier methods.

Novelon are contraceptive pills, it is known to cause breast tenderness or pain, abdominal pain, nausea, edema & head ache, at times skin rash, itching, sleeplessness etc. It contains low doses of female hormones, usage of this medicine inducing cancer breast is not known, however my suggestion is to look for alternative contraceptive methods like iucd's etc which your gynecologist can suggest.
