      Unfortunatley some people do die from cancer. we are much more educated about the diease now and can tend to catch it early enough in many people to treat it. Hopefully one day we will have a cure.

      Sadly yes, not necessarily directly from the cancer but because the tumour may effect other organs or lead to cachexia where the immune system goes haywire
