I also wanted to say how the subject of this post is probably at the crux of everyone's most difficult times in life. Why me? How can karma be true when there's this...what to believe in now?

If it were stress, everyone who worked with you at that awful job would have been in the next chair at chemo with you,right? Nevertheless, my cancer (stage 4 cervical, no family history, no risk factors) came on after 18 months of THE WORST job stress (let's just do more with less and fewer people!) and so I'm with your sister-in-law Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11322995987597322958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019246280434938648.post-86862765049975540612009-05-31T19:16:39.627+01:002009-05-31T19:16:39.627+01:00Although I don't think it is the definitive 'answe...Although I don't think it is the definitive 'answer' to why people get The Bullshit, I have no doubt in my mind that my father (who died last year at 59 from stage 4 stomach cancer) became ill due to the stress of living with an incredibly stress-inducing woman (my step-mother) for 20 years.
