re: Is cancer preventable or is it inevitable?

As for me, I attribute mine to a combination of genetics and stress. My mother, two of her sisters, her brother and her dad all died of cancer. And I built up a tidal wave of stress over the 5 year period before I got cancer that was very unhealthy. I am the first of my 4 siblings to get cancer but we are all in our 40s and I will not be surprised if any of them get it in the future.

If you dont mind me asking, what was the major source of your stress? Obviously you survived. How long has it been and how do you handle stress now?

I ask because (a) genetically speaking I am probably high risk and (b) stress has become a bigger issue for me in the past year or so.
