[Dr. Scarpetta]

I had a thought this morning. SUPPOSEDLY Breck Girl told his wife about the affair in late 2006. Her cancer came back in early spring 2007. I'm wondering if the stress and emotional damage that his revelation had may have contributed to it's recurrence.

The stress and emotional damage must have been overwhelming on top of trying to recover from cancer.

Major Stress is related to cancer occurrence, isn’t it?

Of course it played a part in the recurrence.
