Part 1. Surviving 5 years is not a cure!

She was cured after 5 years! One year later she died!

MT was 44 years old when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She underwent a mastectomy followed by 6 cycles of chemotherapy. She also had 30 radiation treatments. After that she took tamoxifen for 5 years.

The promise: The doctor said it was an early stage cancer. MT had a 90% chance of complete cure if she was to undergo all the recommended treatments.

MT believed her doctor and did exactly as she was told. Each year she went back to her doctor for a routine check-up. At every visit she was told that she was fine.

Five years: MT was told to stop taking tamoxifen because she was already cured.

Barely a year later. MT started to have pains in her tail bone and shoulder blade. MT returned to her doctor.

Examination indicated the cancer had spread to her bones.

Why the recurrence? MT asked the oncologist how could this happen – she had done all the treatments required of her. On top of that the oncologist had told her (a year earlier) that she had been cured.

The oncologist’s replied, I do not know why. But don’t blame yourself. It is your fate. Also, the recurrence has nothing to do with what you eat. It is just your fate.
