I have a character that is about thirty-five years old in 1962. She is healthy in all things and happily married since 1945. However, she gets cancer.

What is a cancer of that time that was fatal (could any cancer be treated at the time?) and how long did it take to kill? What were the symptoms and such not?

Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide!

I would say Google it.

Here's what I found in a couple of minutes: Sorry, but I didn't really read over them to see if they're what you're looking for. Hope it helps
