““I thought the same thing, but it appears to be related to metastatic breast cancer cancer:””

“...Her death was sudden and unexpected....”

That “sudden and unexpected” cancer.

You’re playing soccer one minute and then you’re dead from sudden and unexpected cancer the next.

“ That “sudden and unexpected” cancer”

Her cancer was diagnosed three years ago. Breast cancer in premenopausal women is often extremely aggressive.

From a November 2020 article:

“Meet Kelly Machovec, M.D., 42, a pediatric anesthesiologist who was diagnosed in 2017

For Kelly Machovec, M.D., a pediatric anesthesiologist at Duke University Hospital in Durham, NC, being diagnosed three years ago with metastatic breast cancer came as an even bigger-than-usual shock. Dr. Machovec not only had no major risk factors or family history, but she also had never had breast cancer before. In fact, the day before her mammogram and breast ultrasound to examine the lump she’d found in the shower, she had just done a 10-mile trail race with her husband.

“My husband and I were turning 40 so we decided to do one running race every month,” she says. “When I found out I had metastatic breast cancer, I had run my best half-marathon ever a few weeks before. I was completely shellshocked to learn that there was cancer in my spine.”
