Fair thought. I also wondered that about Elizabeth Edwards (former VP candidate’s wife) when she got virulent breast cancer following two pregnancies in her late 40s/early 50s.

Some studies should really be done on this to see if there's a link.

Elizabeth Edwards also lost a teen son and had more children after his death.

Re: medical treatment -- I think you all are confusing Scientology with Christian Science. Scientology is bad bad bad, but Christian Science is the one the eschews vaccination and modern medicine.

Her body isn’t even cold and all these ghouls are out with their ridiculous speculations.

PS - BC can kill you. Lots of women undergo treatment, are in remission, then it comes back at stage 4 and kills you. Even with the best treatment, a two year battle followed by death is fairly typical.

It is NOT typical. Stop scaremongering, and look at the actual survival rates of the various stages of BC. If you have stage I and it's treated, it doesn't magically "come back" and kill you.

Jesus, the ignorance on this thread.

In retrospect, looking at all the recent photos, it appears she has been wearing a wig for quite some time.

Really, the simplest explanation is the most likely. She was very, very unlucky.

RIP to one of my favorite actresses from "Space Camp."

I bet there is. Didn’t drs stop giving women hormone replacement therapy for menopause a while back because it increased breast cancer risk!? How can ivf hormones in one’s 40’s be kosher?

new pp but yes, it can come back. my mother had it three separate times with 6 years between 1st and 2nd instance and then 3 years between 2nd and 3rd. she never drank and she never smoked and she definitely never took a drug or had IVF. Now she is dying of cancer elsewhere in her body after about 15 years of the "all clear" after her 3rd BC. She may be an unusual case but not completely unheard of.

So sadly, you don't know what you are talking about (to quote a greatly over used DCUM phrase).

Yes. I forget her name. I saw him talk about it on Oprah and he still got choked up.

Dyana Hyland, she was in a movie with him in the 70s. She died at 41.

Here is a background article on her. She also died from breast cancer:

My mother was diagnosed at barely stage 2, got excellent treatment and was given the all clear. Then 3 years later, she was diagnosed stage 4 and died within 2 years.

I know several women with similar stories.

There is no cure for cancer. There is a reason the word is “remission” and not “cure”.

John Travolta is well known to be gay and Kelly was his beard so I wonder if he’ll come out of the closet now.

These are all tragedies, and I am no doctor, but to go from diagnosis to death in two years suggests she may have been in the smaller percentage of women who when diagnosed are in stage 4. It is possible. Or maybe she had triple negative breast cancer, the hardest and most aggressive type to treat. Even the two tragic examples above point to 15 years and about 5 years of living after diagnosis. This was two years. I agree she was an outlier. Yes, cancer can behave unpredictably but i think many more women are surviving breast cancer, but yes for some it can return and go to stage IV. For others, it is indeed cured ie. Surgically removed and contained.

It’s possible she had a lumpectomy years ago and this two year battle was the recurrence.

Which celebrity battled ductile cancer recently? Was it her?
