Re: Stress Major Driver In Cancer Cells

I often said "if stress causes cancer, no wonder I got it". I had particularly stressful times prior to diagnosis. It probably did not cause cancer, but maybe contributed to it. Hey, doctors denied chemo brain existed too, but they were proven wrong.
Keep the faith.

Re: Stress Major Driver In Cancer Cells

Very stressful time for me before BC as well - DH had a brain aneurysm in January 2006, I was diagnosed in October 2006.
DH had coiling procedure for his aneurysm, full recovery - we were very lucky with him.

all the best
