bejuce - i have wondered the same thing. I think all of us diagnosed with cancer try to figure out how "this happened to me"
i have no known risk factors other than dense breasts. I also have looked at these studies with interest as i was under a great deal of stress a few months before i was diagnosed.
how am i dealing with it? honestly, since BC nothing seems important, all the things that used to stress me out don't anymore. BC has a way of letting you see things in a new perspective
now i know this probably won't last, so i am really just trying to avoid things that i know put me over the edge. I am deciding what i want to do when i go back to work, and it will not be what i did previously. Why? too damn stressfull! so my coping strategy is avoid when possible, and if thats not possible i really just try to go for a walk and clear my mind
