I used to have a very stressful Wall St job and spent many months preparing to take a new, less stressful job. One of the reasons I told people that I wanted to change jobs was that I needed to do it before 'I got cancer'. Which seemed very ironic because there is virtually no history of cancer in my family (plus I was 34 y.o. at the time). But I knew that the stress I was under was doing bad things to my health. Lo and behold, within two months of switching to a low-stress job, I found a lump. I know that my former job did not cause the cancer, but I did have a sixth sense that something was possibly wrong.
