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!

It is so random. My granddad used to smoke 80 fags a day, drank everyday (not much) moved as little as possible and lived to 87.

My other granddad always drank a half & Half (half a bitter and a whiskey) smoked like a trooper and died at 84 when he was knocked over by a car.
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.

I can only live in hope, Chris.
Breast cancer frequently starts with cells in the milk-delivering conduits. Breast cancer may likewise begin in the glandular tissue called lobules or in different cells or tissue inside the breast.
