Do you think cancer can be triggered by emotional factors?

Definitly...cancer is promoted by stress factors. Because stress produces superoxides in body and they are deleterious in some form or other and cause cellular injury, triggring some unknown carcinogenec events.\n\nStress induced gastritis...gastroesophageal reflux...barret's esophagus....oesophageal adenocarcinoma.\n\nStress induced breast carcinomas\n\nStress induced---ulcerative colitis----> Adenocarcinoma colon\nand many unknown....still idiopathic

well to be scientifically correct (i think but hey im 16 so what do i know) i think all of us have "cancer" cells when we are concieved, but i think it takes somethin to activate them, so really, technically speaking (refer to comment above) i think its when u are born..? but i know thats not what u asked so lets see, i knew a girl that got breast cancer (at least she found out about it) 2 months after she graduated from high school

Factors of metastases include (but are not limited to) age, sex, hormones, location of the cancer, genetics and overall health.  Only a physician with knowledge of all factors could give an educated guess as to the time it will take a certain cancer to spread.

No.\n\nYour dietary patterns is a result of your state of emotion and mind, and not the other way around.

I can totally relate. My wife went through breast cancer surgery and then chemo last year. So far so good - but the stress never stops. It's tough being a caregiver and I can relate to your feeling tired and dragged out.\n\nHang in there.

Me and my mother suffer from the same thing. I don't think it leads to colon cancer, but we haven't found anything that removes it. I guess there's some digestive pills and enzymes that help relieve it...i've hear it's dependent on stress.

Yes, due to lifestyle (nutrition, smoking, etc), comorbid medical illness (diabetes, heart disease) and suicide.

It could mean cancer, or it could be a benign tumor that isnt hurting her but is just there and in the way. Dont start worrying until you know for sure, and if it is cancer, then the best thing you can do for your mom is just be there for her. Take a deep breath when you start feeling overwhelmed, and then relax your body...until the results come back you will feel stressed out and panicky, but truly, until you know for sure do not freak out...your mom needs you to be strong for her right now, and if she is worrying about how you are taking things, then she wont be able to focus all of herself on getting better! I wish you the best and give your mom a hug from me!

It can make you angry or depressed.

Genetics and environmental factors play a part, but why do some family members get it and not others, and why do some people exposed to a carcinogen develop cancer while others don't? As a cancer survivor, my own theory is that your immune system plays a role and that someday we will learn that viruses act as instigating agents.

Oh believe me you will know.... there is several people in my family that have had it and some didn't make it but I know for sure that they were in pain with it and went to the doctor and was diagnosed.  There is lots of symptoms to Cancer ... go to a doctor and just get a check up if nothing else to ease your mind.  Good luck to you.

Yes, I get those feeling's sometimes they are weak and sometimes they are strong. I knew when my home burnt down something bad was going happen at the time my husband well now ex husband aunt was sick with cancer I told him something bad was going happen he though it was his aunt told me he didnt want to hear it we was on our way home I kept telling him I smelled smoke he said he couldnt smell anything. As we got to our home it was up in flames. As the reason why I just feel that they are a gift. At one time in my life I wished it would go away when my father was dying with cancer. But they are a gift is the way i look at it!

Yes it can because my mom's friend had breast cancer, and so did her own mom and grandma.

Matt and Bert are both correct but there are so many factors.  Some kinds of cancer seems to "run" in families.  Recent things I've read indicate that if all men lived to be 80 years old almost all of them would have prostate cancer.  Many kinds of cancer seem to be affected by poor diet, though not directly caused by it.  Smoking and other pollution and chemicals in the environment seem to have an effect.  People who are obese seem to be more likely to get certain kinds of cancer.\n\nThe bottom line is that there is no simple answer to your question.  Do some internet searches for differnt kinds of cancer and you'll get more specific information.

We all genetically have different tolerance levels for one.  The genetic component of why people suffer from certain diseases comes into play when a person's tolerance level has been reached.  When you're taxed beyond your body's ability to tolerate toxic elements of your life, diseases start to appear.  Environmental factors and emotional and mental stress factors all need to be taken into account together.  When we're emotionally stressed our bodies produce things like cortisol and inflammation.  Inflammation is the root cause of most illness.  If you really want to delve into the subject, you might enjoy the book called Feelings Buried Alive Never Die.

As far as I know worldwide, the answer is no.  This is because it points at the wrong type of an awareness.\n\nThe following may not be suitable for your project, but out of interest, click on "Dhaxem and Cancer" on the Dhaxem website. It lists the physical, mental and emotional, and Soul related causes of cancer.  These are never properly explained to the sufferers, let alone to the general public.  This is for political reasons: Cancer is a big business and every cancer patient is a profit unit, to them.  It is a harsh world we are living in, and people are rarely fed the truth by those in charge of the media.
