[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately cancer can sometimes be asymptomatic until it is quite advanced. Or the symptoms are so common/vague as to be easily dismissed or attributed to other causes.

[b]It’s true that some cancers can be very aggressive, but in most cases when the timeline moves this quickly, the disease was there for quite some time and just went undetected. It’s very sad.[/b]

OP, I’m so sorry for your loss.[/quote]

this

its much much more commonly long undetected than aggressive. that's often bc of the misapprehension that it causes symptoms so people assume that they'll 'know' if they have cancer and go deal. Except in the case of a palpable breast lump, continual night sweats, seizures/ weakness or multiple swollen lymph nodes, cancer is almost always asymptomatic until late late stage. That's why preventative screenings are so important and why they are racing to develop a diagnostic blood test. [/quote]
While this has historically been true, there has been a rise recently in more rapidly advancing cancers.[/quote]

where is the data for that? yes there has been a rise in cancer but i have not seen data that it's specific to aggressive cancers[/quote]
