I've often wondered about morphine and opiates and there relationship to tumors. This is one theory (based on mouse data):

Keep in mind that some studies show that morphine and its stress reduction may shrink tumors
There is an alternative (a rat study)
: tramadol

and a comparison between morphine and tramadol in Immune systems

Since my mets keep moving around and I take Morphine, I've occasionally wondered if this could be a factor. It seems like I read a year ago that it could. Any other info would be appreciated.
The same thing for anti-depressants.
Love and light,
Lisa
