Cervical cancer recurred in the fourth year after surgery, followed by death 13 months later.
Death 13 months after recurrence
Recurrence and initial onset are two completely different situations. Treatment is possible, but it is not a matter of life or death—only a difference in length of survival.
At the time of recurrence, the family contacted this website. This website informed them that treatment was possible, but the only difference would be in the length of survival, not a matter of life or death. They understood this but still pursued some treatment. Death occurred 13 months later. Having a clear understanding makes the difference between dignity and its absence. It is like dealing with someone whose background you know very well, versus dealing with someone whose background you know nothing about.
