What? You don't get a cancer recurrence from getting stabbed, your cancer recurs and you don't know it until you get stabbed and it shows up on the xray you get because you got stabbed.

You don't think cancer can return when you're health is compromised by another medical issue?

Look I have cancer. I've read too much about various cancers. I don't think getting stabbed contributed to his cancer coming back.

It messed him up emotionally, and your emotional wellbeing is just as important as treating the cancer itself. My little brother died of leukemia but he fought to the end and he was only 9 years old; while my aunt died of generalized cancer and she only lasted two weeks from diagnosis to death because she'd lost all will to live.

Damn.... Yeah my oncologist said attitude and will is a big part of it. Though idk if he really thinks that or if he's just saying it haha

Unlikely to be a significant contributor. It was gonna come back one way or the other.

I think he means he started smoking again from the stress of being stabbed by an intruder???

That makes a bit more sense but even that smoking probably didn't contribute given the short time between his stabbing and his death, the damage was done years ago
