Hi Andi
Thanks for the post.
I believe that my bc was 'activated' by a severe stress reaction to some serious events in my life approx 6-12 months before it appeared, over which I had no control.This I think caused some bio-chemical changes which I believe altered my bodies ability to get rid of these rogue cancer cells.
Though this won't hold true for every case of bc.However I have noticed that a high proportion of women I have met in hospital and at the oncologists clinic can relate a traumatic event prior to their own bc. These events seem to generate feelings of being overwhelmed and a sense of despair.
I guess we are in our infancy regarding this research as the human body is such a complex system!
