Interesting you should ask this right now. I just found an article about how cancer becomes dormant and what Medical people are doing to try to investigate it. You can read most of the article without signing in. Somebody just passed this information in email to me today.

This is the most comprehensive information I’ve seen about how cancer becomes dormant, and what happens to it when it does become dormant.

Aging, fibrosis¹⁵ , chronic stress, or lifestyle factors can also contribute to awakening.

This is the key, as I understand it, that you need less stress and a strong immune system.

I think it wouldn't hurt to discuss this article as a separate thread. Something like "What Possibly Affects Cancer Recurrence?

Thank you again!
