Stress and Inflamation bring on cancer
I was at my 6-month check-up with the nurse at my breast surgeon's office today. She said keeping a low-stress, healthy lifestyle will keep the cancer away, and I have a good chance of never seeing it again, almost like I'm cured. My back story is IDC Stage 1, Grade 2, no lymph node involvement, on Tamoxifen for the next 5 years. She also said that cancer is an inflammation (I had forgotten that), and stress brings it on. While I agree with her, I don't like the word "cured". There is no cure for cancer. Thoughts?
