First comment I saw on a friend’s Facebook post on this: “I didn’t think you could die of breast cancer. I wonder if it was because Scientologist don’t believe in medicine.”

She’s 43.

It's okay, she's on a spaceship to Xenu now or whatever.

Scientologists are allowed to get medical treatment and use prescription drugs

She was being treated at MD Anderson.

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

Did they confirm they used ivf?

Apparently she had the last child at age 48.

That doesn’t automatically mean she used ivf.

Yeah it pretty much does.

No, it doesn’t. There is reproductive assistance that is not what people think of as “IVF.” They could have used donor egg or embryo and done a transfer. Even a medicated transfer doesn’t involve a lot of hormones. It is not the same as an egg retrieval cycle which does involve a lot of hormones. Please be quiet when you don’t know what you’re talking about.

The main concern wouldn't be getting medical care, but more being isolated from your non-scientologist friends and potential sources of emotional support

They chose that religion and have been living that way for years. Why would you think the illness would suddenly create barriers that weren’t already there?

I don't think you can get cancer from just stress.

He'll marry someone in the church. I know divorce is really hard in scientology.

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

Will scientology find him a new wife eventually? Will he marry the nanny or nurse?

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.

Scientologists can get chemo and treatment.
