I agree with you @Afraser...there are discussions about stress and links to cancer etc, but how are these researchers doing the testing and how are they quantifying stress? I mean, is a low level of stress, for whatever cause, on a daily basis for years, equal to, more than, or less than a few one off high stress situations? My feeling is that a lot of adult onset cancer happens to whoever, and that most adults have experienced stress in their lives by the time they happen to be diagnosed with cancer.. Being bullied at school, or by siblings or even parents for that matter. The loss of a pet, grandparent or other significant person. Teenage crushes unfulfilled...stress about school or sports...the list goes on. I don't know a single adult who has not had stress in their lives, but I know a lot of people who don't have or get cancer.
