For sure! We had just spent 6 months prior to my bc disgnosis driving back and forth to the Gold Coast and south side brissy as my husbands brother had had a quad bike accident in oct 2015 no helmet, had been drinking slammed his head into a tree which left him with a traumatic brain injury. He got out of hospital April last year then I was diagnosed in may last year . And I actually postponed my annual mammogram which was due in January last year (I had really lumpy cysty breasts hence the yearly checks) due to trying to work and all the driving to see him. It was really really stressful and had I done that mammogram in Jan who knows maybe my diagnosis and treatment could of been different. And was the stress a factor.... I certainly believe it could of been for sure. As I had no family history either. Anyway these days I stress still but not as much and I deal with it a lot differently too.... Margie xx
