Why can some cancers be treated and others not?
My dad died of liver cancer and was only given pain management.
My uncle was diagnosed with stage 4 oral cancer last year, had intensive treatment and is now in remission.
My aunt had breast cancer years ago, it's come back and has spread to her lungs, liver and spine. No treatment, just to try and control it. She's 54. Doesn't smoke, rarely drinks, works out daily.

Even when you get cancer, there seems to be little logic in the way things work out in the long run. My uncle was given a few weeks or, at the very most, a few months to live when his cancer was declared to be incurable. He died 25 years later, of an unrelated condition!

Chris sorry my post refers to the US of A. I don't know if it's much different here but I doubt it. Here's where I got the info; some interesting stuff. For instance I didn't know smoking could figure in being a partial cause of other types of cancer.
