It is hard to prove if stress causes NHL because it is difficult to isolate it as a potential cause in studies
However, when I asked my oncologist what he thought, off the record, what was the major contributor to NHL and other cancers he replied without hesitation - 'stress'
NHL is a rare disease so there must be some kind of uncommon seed such as genes or exposure to a contaminant to start with
I believe that chronic stress, or more importantly, the response to stress can play a significant role in cultivating this seed
Personally, I was a person who was constantly stressed - self induced stress you could call it - whether is was through getting uptight about really small everyday issues or pushing myself too hard at work or with exercise (running ultra marathons)
Then, leading up to my NHL diagnosis there were a couple of extraordinary incidents that I believe were the straw that broke the camel's back, namely having my company almost go bankrupt and facing the prospect of huge debts for an extended period (about 18 months before diagnosis) and then having some serious back problems
Again, it is impossible to know for sure but that is my gut feeling
