no.thats blaming the victim!cancer tumors can come from genetic susceptabilities.exposure to pollution/chemicals in the environment/workplace.increasing age-which EVERYONE will face at some point,is a major factor in developing cancer.obesity is a factor.ever work with cancer patients?I HAVE.its a myth that they are soft,compliant people who swallow their emotions.most of them are vibrant,outspoken advocates of their own care,who dont hesitate to be assertive in their quest for cure/remission.i have nothing but respect for them,they truly do "battle" cancer.very few are passive or withdrawn personalities at all. i dont think u cause ur own tumors by holding in emotions-if so,EVERYONE in the u.k would die of cancer!!!!(just as in u.s,the leading cause of death is heart disease.)

No, but you can get migraines and ulcers.

No you cannot. Maybe an ulcer but not a tumor.

tumor??? please explain better OHHHH i c

no non noo no thats false totally

My sis is a phsyciatrist student (gonna be a dr.) its impossible.........definiltey ulcers and hairloss and can cause higher risk for a heart attack FOREAL
you hold in so much anger it increases the risk of a heartattack (which is verrrry rare though)

I do not think you can get a tumor from holding in emotions.
I believe our immune system can not work as well if we are under prolonged stress. This may leave us more susceptible to some illnesses. It is important for us to manage our stress so that it does not build up. Best Wishes.

Ulcers, yes..But there's no way you can get a tumor. Tumors, like cancer, is when the cells go though mass and un-necessary mitosis. It has no effect with your emotions or stress. That's why infants can be born with tumors, and clearly they weren't holding in their emotions and stress while in their mothers uterus.
