Each one was a different case and each one had their own seperate issues.
The questions about why is not anything that anyone here would be able to answer. We are not medical professionals with years of education, training and experience along with each individuals entire medical chart in front of us. There is so much to learn about cancer and why some die while others live, how it randomly appears when some have no known cause, and the big question.... how to cure it. Only thru extensive research will scientists learn enough about cancer and one day have a cure and an answer to those questions.
