Gradual: Metastatic, progressive cancer tends to lead to a gradual decline in health leading to death. Most cancer cells do rely primarily on sugar for energy (the warburg hypothesis) but the healthy cells also need food! my mother also gradually stopped eating, and chose not to receive forced feedings via a tube or ivs. For me, i also would prefer not to get forced feedings if dying from cancer.
