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.

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).

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”.

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.

No you're not a doctor and what you also fail to realize is that cancer takes DECADES to grow. DECADES.

I understand. I was just noting that if she was diagnosed two years ago, her death was more rapid than it is for many, not all. There are many types of breast cancer but overall many women are statistically living longer. Susan Love, the breast cancer specialist talks about this at length.

Yes, the religion doesn't ban you from getting medical treatment. There's fairly little said about medicine by L. Ron Hubbard.

Of course it does. You know very little about Scientology.

What a horrible comment. What is wrong with you? It was clear he was deeply in love with his wife.

Ummm...have you seen the picture of him kissing a man on the lips? Or read about his massages...

Disbelieving. How could there be a link?

I don't think the link is age per se. The problem is to have a kid that late in life, you probably have to undergo a lot of medical intervention.

It actually is both: age and hormones.

Pregnancy gives your body a break for 10 months (plus breastfeeding). Google it.

The articles also indicate that ivf treatment includes a mammogram (presumably because of the link), so cancer is often detected earlier.

Pregnancy gives your body a break from what?

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?
