Huh.

My mother (age 67) got breast cancer in 2007. She did all of the treatment for it and was basically free of it 12-18 months later.

Fuck yea.

Your mother was lucky to be of an age when some cancers grow slowly:

"Some cancers, such as particular cancers of the prostate, stomach and breast may grow extremely slowly in older people."
