If someone had breast cancer...?

Question

..and cleared it out, elderly woman... would that come back? Is there any chance of worry? or is it that these days cancer is coming often and it is clearing quick as well?

Do you know anyone like this? And if so, how long more have they survived???

Answer 1

Older woman odds are less but that isn't any guarantee it really depends on the type of BC they have. Remember everyone is an individual so everyone response differently.

Younger women under 30 have the highest recurrent rate do to the more aggressive nature of the disease.

Answer 2

There is always a chance. To help prevention - Try Vitamin C therapy. A few years ago a cancer specialist came out with a paper that said the best cancer/infection fighter found to date was Interferon. At the time it was $15,000 a gram. The paper also said that Interferon was a by-product of the natural breakdown of Vitamin C in your body. Shortly after that the FDA tried to make Vitamin C by prescription only. Guess why? The FDA has the RDA for Vitamin C set at 64 mg a day, just enough to ward off scurvy. Linus Pauling, who got a Nobel Prize for his work with Vitamin C and a second Nobel Prize for Organic Chemistry, said that 1000 mg a day should be the minimum and 2000 mg a day if you are sick or smoke. He played tennis almost daily until the day he died at 96. Personally, I got sick twice a year for 2 weeks at a time, for more than 20 years, with something to this day the doctors have no idea what it was, but for a week in the middle of those 2 weeks I was flat on my back. I started Vitamin C therapy once I gave up on the doctors. I took enough to be asymptomatic for those 2 weeks. Too much and I got diarrhea and too little and I got sick. Within a narrow range, and it followed a bell curve over those 2 weeks, I was not sick. At the height I was taking 40,000 mg a day and 300,000 over the 2 weeks. After 2 years of that I have not been sick since – more than 15 years. Vitamin C acts as a natural diuretic so you need to drink a lot of water and watch your body in total, but my kidneys did not dissolve as the doctors predicted, or get massive kidney stones as other predicted. I did not dissolve my bones as some predicted or completely calcify my joints as others predicted. I had no side effects at all. It might be something to consider.

Please ignore the advice above me. Now to answer your question, cancer can always recur. But it doesn't mean it will recur. Many women live full lives after bc treatment. It depends on how advanced the cancer was when she was diagnosed, and what type of treatment she had, and if she is taking any medication now to help deter a recurrence. Her doctor should be able to answer all these questions.

To say that you have survived breast cancer you have had to be free from it for 20 years.

With treatment breast cancer is very curable.

It depends on the treatment to say if it will reoccur and the person.

It is possible for it to come back. Or it is possible for it to stay gone for ever.

My grand mother had breast cancer...had treatment and it has been gone for years.

Breast cancer has very good survival rates...
