My dad's best friend's wife has breast cancer and her mother died like about 3 days ago and she's undergoing a surgery tomorrow. Could breast cancer happen from crying a lot or stress? Cause they just found out recently that she has breast cancer!

No one knows the cause of cancer.

Stress can aggravate any condition in the body by diminishing the immune system, but stress cannot give you breast cancer. If she's going into surgery tomorrow, she would have developed it long before her mother died. This website did a thing kind of explaining all sorts of stuff about breast cancer.

Nobody knows what causes breast cancer. There are known risk factors, some of which are avoidable and many of which are not. Stress, grief and crying are NOT risk factors for breast cancer or any other cancer. There is no evidence at all that emotions are linked to cancer in ay way, an plenty of evidence that there is no such link. And apart from anything else, her cancer will have been developing for a long time, probably years. It's often tempting to blame stress, depression or upset for cancer - when people are diagnosed with cancer, they’re very often desperate to find a reason or explanation. They remember the events that seem linked – divorce, breavement, job loss etc. But they forget all the people who have been through the same stress and haven’t developed cancer, and the people who have experienced no stress or trauma who haven’t developed cancer. Bereavement is one of the most stressful events in life, and the loss of a child is stress almost beyond endurance. A study in Isreal looked for an increase in cancer among parents who had lost a child; no such increase in cancer was found. I'm sorry that your friend is having to endure a cancer diagnosis so recently after the loss of her mother. But no, the two aren't linked.

Hi! I'm sorry to hear about this, but while the cause of breast cancer is unknown there are some different "superstitions" of different kinds of ways of why it does develop. Here is an article just recently published about different causes of breast cancer and some ways that you might be able to lower your chances of getting breast cancer. http://www.selfgrowthengine.com/health-and-wellness/nutrition/articles/do-cleaning-products-cause-breast-cancer

I've lost 5 relatives to it so far. Its caused by the bodies failure to fight against the rogue cells. Many women in western countries get it because they have an overdose of estrogen caused by the pill or by not having and breastfeeding children enough. Breast cancer is virtually unknown in developing countries where breastfeeding long term is normal. Normally their body would fight the cancer cells but after many years of fighting and perhaps some trauma like a death or divorce or moving house, their immune system fails to fight it and the estrogen has made a nice nest for it to grow in (thickening tissue) Regular nipple stimulation (prolactin) has been proved to prevent it and so has long term breastfeeding. Links below. Most people don't want to know this because they dont want to change their lifestyle
