Can A Cervical Cancer Patient Stay Fit Even After 10 Years?

can a 58 year old women 164 cm high weighing 85 kilos have cervical cancer (which has also spread to the liver) for the last 10 years and still look fit and healthy, drink alcohol like it's going out of fashion and have heaps of energy for gardening cleaning etc?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is possible that the person in concern is under a strict treatment and follow up schedule. Cancer cervix is curable in the first stage of disease. However disease spread to liver makes it stage 4 cancer with difficult treatment. There are times when a person might have liver lesions which are identical to metastasis of cervix cancer. Therefore she might not have had stage 4 disease and the spread was misinterpreted. On the other hand it can also mean that she has well differentiated cancer which is responding to treatment.

Drinking alcohol is not the same for every one. Some people suffer from ill effects of alcohol just by drinking a small amount while there are people who drink a lot and still show mild liver changes due to alcohol intake. Having energy and good fitness is a personal capacity. Please do not worry.
