I have a very stressful job, and I am raising my 5-year old grandson. I often wonder if my own immune system is often jeopardized by stress. I am a die-hard optimist, but stress does play havoc in my life as I try to juggle ten balls in the air. I have two older sisters who hover over me preaching to me that they do not want to buy new black dresses. Is that subtle or what?? I finished chemo in Feb, and I had asthmatic bronchitis in Oct and again last week. Of course, I work with the public exposing myself to germs, and my grandson is a germ "carrier" from his school.
Just one more thing to worry about...
