      I’m very sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I do not feel qualified to answer this question, but I suggest you go and talk to your teacher who I am sure will put you in touch with somebody who can help you find out.

      We’re all the wrong kind of doctor for this – but often if cancer recurrs, it’s harder to kill off because it’s resistant to the drugs they used before, and the person can often still be weak from the side effects of the first round of drugs. I can’t say for sure that’s what happened to your friend, but talk to them or to a medical doctor, and they might be able to help you understand.

      I’m sorry to hear about your friend – cancer is no fun at all.
