@double_whammied Two important points about Cokie Roberts:

First, she was integral to the success of @NPR

Second, news reports do not articulate that Cokie Roberts died from metastatic breast cancer (aka Stage 4). You don't "die of complications from breast cancer") at stages 0-3. @MBCNbuzz

"There are many people who undergo treatment and never have to deal with cancer again. A metastatic breast cancer diagnosis is different because it means you will actively deal with breast cancer for the rest of your life." @MBCNbuzz
Breast cancer is not a homogenous disease - nor is any cancer, as far as I know.

And as many as 1-in-3 women diagnosed with breast cancer will develop metastatic disease. The average life expectancy after that diagnosis is less than three years (SEER).
