This is pretty bad, you lose your husband and then develop breast cancer on top of it:
Research findings from a Queen’s University study have for the first time uncovered a possible biological link between severe psychological stress and an increased risk of developing breast cancer.
Previous population studies have shown a relationship between the experience of intense psychological stress, such as that associated with the loss of a spouse or loved one, and an elevation in breast cancer risk. However, this is the first time a breast specific biological basis for this link has been proposed.
The study, led by biochemist Christopher Mueller, found that the stress hormone hydrocortisone may repress the activity of a tumour-suppressing gene known as BRCA1 that is related to breast cancer.
