Thanks for bringing this forward Pinky.
I definitely subscribe to this theory. My DH had his brain aneurysm in Jan. 2006 - I had to look after him, take total control of our family business (doing his job and mine), keep our two daughters calm, etc. Yup, I'd say stress was my middle name.
9 months later, after a clean mammo and ultrasound in June 2006, my BC was discovered by my PS who was doing a breast reduction on me...
My GP also firmly believes stress can bring on cancer, says she has seen it in her practice too many times.

all the best
