I’ve been drinking for 7 years. Typicall I’ve only drank 3-4 drinks a year. If I stop drinking now, would that help decrease chances of cancer? If it does will it take a long time?

How does anxiety cause cancer?
Cortisol, the “stress hormone”, has been shown to possibly accelerate cancer development.

wow … great…
So if you have cancer, the important thing is not to be worried at all about the horrific illness and potential death that you’re facing. Simple…
Fair question, and looks like I overstated that link.
Chronic stress affects your immune system (via cortisol, long term inflammation) and that is no bueno for all sorts of health outcomes, including likely making it harder to fight off tumours.
But to my surprise, there doesn’t actually seem to be solid evidence of a causal link between stress and increased risk of developing cancer.
