My godmother was diagnosed with breast cancer, told not that bad, started a mild treatment, 5 years later she died of brain cancer. Cancer is dangerous guys early action is key
In the end, it depends on the type of cancer. Sometimes, it may not really affect you until you're already dead. Others can be very lethal. Especially something like brain cancer or blood cancer.
Yeah, the main problem with breast cancer is the places it is likely to metastasize to are bone, brain, and lungs. If the cancer actually stays in the breast, like OPs grandma, it is as harmless as cancer can possibly be.
A former co-worker of mine was diagnosed with stage 4 breast, brain and lung cancer. This happened a few months ago and I no longer work there, but that I know of she's still living but not expected to be here for much longer. Originally she was given less than 6 months to live and that was with radiation treatment.
Yeah she got lucky. U gotta catch it early on, and even then cancers a bitch... a relative of mine was on anti depression pills, and they hid the cancer... they died in a few years
"Fuck that."
Fucking legend.
