The treatment obviously hasn't worked.
May I ask what drugs / procedures she had & for how long?
This video says "medicines", especially anti-biotics may well be the cause of much cancer.

I lost a young friend to cancer this week- just a kid, really- 26 years old. He was such a sweet kid and put up a brave fight, but it was too much for him. Nobody should have to go through what he did. Life (and death) is so unfair sometimes.

I am thoroughly fed up with the number of times cancer has hit my choir - we only number 25 and it is getting far too regular - in many cases not even chance for their voices to ever get that old. Find your own angels for the heavenly choir and stop nicking ours! ![[Mad]](angryfire.gif)

We raised the roof with Parry's 'I Was Glad' this afternoon for a dear and brilliant colleague who died of a brain tumour earlier this year. I'd have been sitting with my grate frend S--fashion-model, lawyer, maker of champagne cocktails--but the chemo leaves her too tired and her immune system's too fragile for crowds, so I sat with her sad, stony-faced husband instead.
Fuck cancer.

A couple I know lost their 25year old son tonight. He was in my son's Scout troop, so my son lost a friend. This young man had fought the good fight; chemo, isolation, transplants from his brother. But a viral infection got him last week, and there was no recovery. Fuck you, leukemia.

Crap. My friend was treated for an aggressive type of brain tumor 5 years ago. However it looks like it is back again and they are waiting to see what treatment can be offered this time. We were lulled into a false sense of security that things had been stable for so long. It is such a blessing that she has survived this long. But all the same, CRAP.

As I just posted on the prayer thread in AS, my nephew's mum has found out her breast cancer is terminal. This is a woman who retrained herself and moved her children and mother to a new country after she became a young widow. This is a woman who flew from NZ to Canada to attend her son's wedding immediately after her second round of chemo; wig and all, she was the life of the party, bubbling over with joy even though her only son had moved so far away. As soon as she got home, she started participating in fundraising runs for cancer. She was fine at Christmas. Now she's got a matter of weeks to live, and won't get to meet the grandchild my niece is expecting.
Fuck you cancer for taking this beautiful, remarkable woman and for orphaning my nephew. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.

Herself's little nephew is in Intensive Care - the chemo, etc. he had last year gave him a matter of months of remission. He's only 6 or 7.

News stories of miracle cure tablets don't really help - even if they're ultimately the answer, they will be years coming on to the pharmacy shelves and only increase the sense of helplessness that nothing can be done NOW for those already suffering.

So true. There are millions of cancer cases around, and the best advice to the patient comes from the oncologist, who will tell you honestly that every case is different, and so its treatment and prognosis. Better to give thanks for the fact that treatment for us is far better than it was for our parents, and will be again for our children.

It also doesn't help when you cite a story as a 'miracle cure' story when the wording of the story doesn't suggest anything of the kind.

It's why every scientist/doctor I know hates the trade press—they leave out the actual importance of what's been found, overhype the most speculative results of what could be done with the research, and totally distort the rest.
Or, to put it much more elegantly…

One of the worst things about cancer is that it takes people who are intelligent, capable, active, with lots to contribute, and just cuts straight through their lives. So much left unfinished, unable to come to fruition.
