Cancer is caused by environmental factors as much as genetics and inhaling carcinogens cant help at all

nah my mom doesn't smoke

she had a stomach ulcer that was operated in May

That must be a special type of cancer then. Most cancers are almost entirely environmental

but they never found any cancer

I was referring to my need to stop smoking but yeah I know

I googled the survival rates. From what I can tell, she is not stage 1, but her survival rate is probably 60% or higher if she ovary tumors are not cancerous which probably says a lot about the cancer.

Or I didn't know she wasn't a smoker I just assumed smoking wasn't related to stomach cancer

i was told that there's a possibility i'd develop the same stomach cancer too

there are lots of things which cause cancer

some of it is caused by a virus or bacteria

which is why cancer has never been cured

it is a catch all term

and because of how it spreads it probably can't be cured

Faith is really important for times like this. I won't quote any studies, but people need something to anchor to this reality.

at best it will become something like Diabetes

which can be managed with drugs and treatment

I'm a biology major. I know about cancer. Her chances are pretty good, my guy.

hey if you say so dude

yes, you must find strength in something and transfer it to your mum

what about with no treatment?

I heard life expectancy was like a year or two

@Banjod quit posting on chan<:goldpill:626276664837537833> <:varg:552804477590044674>

and with treatment it could be like 5 years

Is that lymphoma then

I don't think she has lymphoma

Non hodgkins

Are they treating her with anything? If they just want a surgery, that says a lot. Her odds are good.

but Lymphoma is a type of cancer

That's the one with the highest probability of overcoming the disease

@Hector they only mentioned surgery but said she is too weak for surgery right now

and they said that they wouldn't try chemo because she is too weak

and said that chemo isn't really an option anyway

I would be pretty happy with whatever stage she is at if they just want a surgery.

but yeah they just said surgery

to identify it and then to remove it

but they also said sometimes surgery makes it spread

which... wtf???

Then they have to make her get stronger

that is my thought

If there was a cure to cancer then the mortality rate would be 0
