Re: Stress Major Driver In Cancer Cells

Cancer, as we know, is complex and is actually a dis-ease made up of several, if not hundreds, of dis-eases. We also know that the mind-body connection is real, and that for a great many, although not all, stress triggers illnesses. Most oncologists would agree, I believe, if you DO have cancer, one should keep stress to a minimum. Therefore, I think the same should apply pre-cancer: keeping stress to a minimum. Society is always looking for great de-stress outlets: yoga, exercise, aromatherapy, meditation, etc. I don't think the article is saying stress is WHY breast cancer happens, only that could be a likely driver (for some). If any of these theories were proven, we'd have a cure already.

Will be thinking of you as you undergo your liver procedure. Wishing you well,
Karen
