Brenda,
I was a caregiver for my mom when she recurred after 20 yrs,
Very very stressful time, since she lived in Fla, and I was in The Bahamas, and the rest of my family did not help much at all.
Anyway, I was dxed w/ Stage III, 18 mos after she died.
I stongly beleive that strss has alot to do with it. It may not cause BC, but I think it moves things along.
