These
kinds of "shared risk factor" posts for CML come up periodically here.
Someone says they had stress and got CML, and the next thing you
know, 97 other people say they had stress and also got CML. Or someone
says they sat too close to the TV and got CML. And 33 other people
suddenly say that *they* sat too close to the TV and *they* got
CML! Or someone says they ate farm-raised salmon and got CML and 45 other people
say, what a coincidence, they ate farm-raised salmon and they also got
CML!
I don't think stress causes cancer,
either. Nearly every single person in the world would be running
around with some form of cancer. And it doesn't explain why babies get
cancer.
I suppose it's fun to speculate and swap war
stories. But as I've said for years, I wish there was some sort of *scientific*
database to track the potential origins of CML, which allowed people to input
real risk factors and then mined the data for clues.
CML may be the child star of ongoing research
into treatment, but when it comes to prevention and screening, it's the neglected stepchild (no
offense to stepchildren) --- unlike with breast cancer, colon cancer and
other solid tumors.

Subject: [CML] Re: Stress and lifestyle factors in cancerAs logical as this correlation may seem, I can't help but disagree.
The reason is this: I have seen too many people deal with
extraordinary stress levels and yet not develop cancer.<snip>
