The importance of reducing/eliminating stress in virus-related cancer - study attached

LuvnTN

I believe 100% that my cancer was caused by an excessive amount of stress.. brought about by anxiety, worry, and fear about $$ and a whole host of things outside of my control. Stress lowers our body's natural immune system and weakens our ability to fight off sickness and disease.. and it also can activate dormant viruses. There is a truckload of data that supports the idea that it is extremely important for anyone dealing with a cancer diagnosis, or continuing on after treatment is finished, to reduce and/eliminate stress in their life. I am so thankful that when my initial later-stage diagnosis was given, my first thought was that I was not sure where I was going to go WHEN I died (the whole death-and-taxes thing). I was diagnosed stage 4 head-and-neck (w/ distant met to rib bone, and later with lymphnodes in chest cavity) in Sept 2021. I am nearing completion of two years on Keytruda (following inital surgery/chemo/rad, and two, different, subsequent SBRT rad sessions) and am heading for a colonoscopy (scheduled after my last PET scan) tomorrow morning. My diagnosis was my kick-in-the-butt to getting "right" with God {Content removed by CSN Support Team]. Fear, worry, and anxiety create pro-cancer environments… when we all desire the exact opposite. I love you all! Here is a link to the article on stress and hpv oncogenesis:

Hello, LuvnTn, I am glad your treatment is working out for you and hope you are done soon and have clear scans and a clear colonoscopy.

I am certainly glad for you getting God's wake-up call and responding in the positive.

I agree with all you are saying here and am onboard also, [Content removed by CSN Support Team]
