I was thinking the exact same thing! As someone who treated an aggressive cancer with lumpectomy, radiation, AI but no chemo I am finding this heartening! No way I can live another twenty years in any case but this was a good outcome. I don't use anything "alternative" as not my lifestyle but I'm guessing maybe the conventional therapies she did do worked well for her. Sometimes I think human beings can swept away by the idea of "fighting" and "failure." Death is a natural and inevitable conclusion to biological life--whether to a tree, an ant, or a person. It is no kind of personal disgrace and no one is to blame.
