@debdeb1 I think job stress plus we used to grill maybe weekly; this might have exacerbated it. But mostly stress i think. The thing that most surprises me is that i loved my job and did not even feel the stress until i retired. Nobody talked about mindfulness then. Now i meditate almost daily.
@debdeb1 same thing. Exactly like you. I was the first one in my family. Exercise, I am petite not overweight and never been, I don't think, I have never smoked. Diagnosed last year.

@debdeb1 I feel the same way. All the money over the years and the same treatments—poison (chemo), amputate and burn (radiation). I’m done with pink ribbons for awareness—we are all aware of breast cancer, now let’s talk cause/prevention and better treatments.
