I'm not sure if anyone's been through this, but here goes:
My soon to be mother in law survived cervical cancer last year. They did the chemo & radiation and said they got it all. Around March of this year, she started complaining of back pain. Long story short, in the past few months, she's lost a lot of weight, has gotten frail and even lost teeth. This is all so confusing, because we think she's hiding things from us that the doctor said. Currently she's in the hospital, and they (finally!) did a biopsy today. This was to determine whether it was a reoccurance of the cervical cancer, or a new cancer. The thing is, we found out that her scan read that she had tumors up and down her spine, and all in her legs. The doctor said if it's the reoccurance, then it will be difficult, and her chances slim. If it's new, he'll try to treat it. The thing is, I've read new cancer never starts in the spine, and why is she losing all the weight and the teeth? Why is one type worse than the other?

She knew she was having a recurrence and was trying to avoid having to deal with the consequences. Humans do not always act logically when facing their own mortality. In spite of your MIL's mistake in trying to hide what was going on with herself you should try and support her thorough this difficult period because most likely she will not be with you for long.
A recurrence of cervical cancer in the spine means stage 4 disease with a poor prognosis. sorry
in basic terms approximately 5% of Breast cancers are with the aid of hereditary factors. That being stated, my kin contains the defective gene, My maternal grandfather, mom, maternal aunt and sister have all more advantageous breast maximum cancers, my sister's became genetically suitable. I even have additionally had breast maximum cancers, yet no longer genetically suitable, my different 2 sisters and a couple of brothers have had no sign of breast maximum cancers as yet (whether 10 - 2 many years older than whilst my mom more advantageous hers). Do universal self tests. Get checked oftentimes by your Dr. Have universal mammograms, ultrasounds and in spite of different assessments your Dr reccommends. do no longer permit the possibility of maximum cancers rule your existence, merely take smart precautions.
