Re: Controlling physical reactions to stress

Thanks for posting Hopeful. I tried to read the provisional PDF but its subscription only.this article seems to reinforce what myself and a number of others have believed about the effects of chronic stress on the development of our breast cancer. When you consider the suggested effect on the DNA plus the immune suppressant effects of stress this seems very plausible. I don't believe this is the whole story and suspect that the pre- existing conditions in the breast must have been present. What I feel is that stress ' lights the touch paper' and allows the cancerous cells to grow . This won't be the case for all bc but may explain some?
I would be interested to hear what others feel
Andi BB mentions that she feels stress may effect the weakest part of our body. This article may support that.
