healthUpdated: Jun 08, 2020 14:22 ISTHaving a satisfying, happy, romantic relationship, may help improve breast cancer survivors’ health, suggests a recent study. Keeping inflammation at bay is the key to promoting health generally, and especially in breast cancer survivors, researchers say. But elevated inflammation over time increases survivors’ risk for cancer recurrence and other illnesses. “Our findings suggest that this close partnership can boost their bond as a couple and also promote survivors’ health even during a very stressful time when they’re dealing with cancer,” Shrout added. Though the findings in this study relate to breast cancer survivors, Shrout said a strong romantic relationship would likely be helpful to people navigating the uncertainty associated with other serious illnesses by lowering their stress.
