Hi Guys, An open question to anyone with the answer.
Is long term stress a contributing factor to the reoccurance of Cancer.
Why I ask is that after the surgery is over and the Radiotherapty there is all the hospital appointment the fear of the Cancer commming back and in my case three biopsys this year.
I think it must take its tolll withiut you thinking in conciously? I may be wrong Paul

Hi Paul. Like you I've no training in this matter but I firmly beleive that stress, and how it is dealt with is a huge factor in any long term illness.

The fear of cancer recurring is, I'm sure, something we all have. And for you having had to have 3 biopsies so far this year must only addd to the fears and subsequent stress. I'm not sure I could cope with that (although I like to think I could).

Maybe some proper counselling might help?

I hope there's some qualified person out there prepared to give their views.
