Cancer is a broad term and may refer to any number of diseases.

My mother died of vaginal cancer. She was 86. Never had a treatment. Probably had it for decades. Humans trying to fight abnormally growing cells have mixed results

One odd thing about types of cancer. This article refers to thousands, a medical person told me hundreds, and when asked, the net says “over 100”.

The medical guy said, like the article does, that each cancer requires its own cure, and that’s why we are nowhere near “curing cancer”.

Have we cured any? We have treatments, but cures?

But if she had, she might have gotten another 20 years. That is the sad part for the family. I am so sorry for your loss especially since it was so sudden and treatable. God Bless.

Diagnosed with my fourth breast cancer now. The drs say this one is going to get me. I’m fighting it for all I’m worth but it’s a mean ‘un.

It’s traveled to my lungs now. It thinks it’s going to kill me and it may, but by golly, I’m hanging in there for a while.

The most wonderful man in the world found me and we married last Sept (and 3 months later I was dxed) and I’m not done with him yet!!!! Grin.
