what regimen did she follow?
I'm a cynic, I can't help it but it seems to me that people discover they have cancer and then they start doing the slash and burn, they feel terrible, they get better temporarily and then the cancer comes back with a vengeance and the patient dies.
Both my grandmother and mom died of breast cancer. My grandmother never treated hers at all and lived seven years.
I'm going to eventually die from something and I'm not going to ever do the chemo thing because I want as many good days as possible. Once they start on you with their chemo, etc., its downhill from then on.
