If you are asking if someone who has cancer can die of old age versus the cancer ... that answer is yes. Cancer will make you sicker and age quicker so it is harder to pin point the cause of death.

Yes and no. The person can live if the cancer is in remission or its not progressing as fast and the patient dies of natural causes. But most of the time people with cancer unfortunately die.

Yes, my mother just completed her last chemotherapy session after being diagnosed cancer-free. She had been fighting colon cancer for over a year and even had part of her colon removed.With regular chemo treatments,diet and medication she is now free from cancer.

Anyone with cancer should get Carl Simonton's "Getting Well".My Dad had cancer and the Doctors didn't give him a chance.Using the getting well tapes,he was over it in six months.

My mother is seventy three years old. At the age of forty one she had her left kidney removed. It was cancerous. Hope this helps answer your question.

Yes. Cancer was a death sentence 40 years ago, but nowadays there are more and more effective treatments.

Sure.
So far, I've lived two years after my cancer treatment, and I'm hoping for many more. My life is pretty normal.

My uncle had leukemia about 8 years ago or so. Since then he has been cancer free.

Yes they can and do. My Aunt is a perfect example. She beat it twice, in the 70's and 80's and died at 89 years old.

Yes it is possible to survive cancer.Take a look at Lance Armstrong.
