Other stresses you really need to avoid like the plague, because that is what they are.

Right. I should have mentioned that the neuro said that rate of progression is constant UNLESS you fall, or need heart surgery, or encounter some other major stressor, as you say. Then all bets are off. But nobody plans for those things - they happen - no point in lingering there.
For now, I prefer denial. Along with exercise, meditation, and lots of veggies.
