According to IMDB:
"Once diagnosed with cancer, she refused treatments for her condition because she was afraid that they would interfere with her chances of conceiving children."
UmmI mean I don't think anybody wants someone to die, but obviously if you are dead you can't have any children. Why not try the treatment, best case scenario you are fine and can have kids, middle case scenario you are alive and have to adopt kids, and worst case scenario you die.
She is dead anyway, why in the world would you refuse treatment? -

It really depends on what stage cancer she hadi mean if she had stage 4 cancer its really no point in getting treatment but if its anything less than stage 4,it would be wise to get treatment but its all in the past and she made her choice and if its an afterlife she's happier and cancer-free

The type of cancer Michelle Thomas had was predominetly found in men. Kind of like a man being diagnosed with breast cancer. I know it says she refused treatment. It should've said she refused traditional methods and opted for some sort of alternative treatment that sadly failed.

I'm wondering how accurate this info is. It's possible fertility was a factor, and maybe she was told surgical treatment and other alternatives would be curative. I can't imagine truly forgoing chemo and/or radiation if the cancer was fatal without such treatments because, yeah, the fertility issue would be moot. Plus, if fertility is really a priority, freezing eggs is an option.
So I just don't think that trivia bit is the whole story. I can even imagine a scenario where it's too advanced, treatments are minimal, so one may say,238 "if my chances with all treatments aren't much better, I'll forgo ones that cause sterility, and if I can even survive this, I can have kids."
The trivia simplifies to the point of death-wish territory which is in contradiction of planning a future with kids, so I do not think it's the whole story.
