Hi there

Someone has been diagnosed with cancer and they have an operation to remove the cancer. After surgery the person does not live very long. It is said they did not get all of cancer. Also they say "When air hits cancer it grows faster". Is it true about cancer growing faster when it is exposed to air? Please tell me why most people die not too long after surgery.
