A member asked:
I was curious what type of cancer kills in a matter of weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The fast ones: Before real rx was available, i lost two high school friends to acute leukemia, each in less than a week (sudden hemorrhage). Oat cell carcinoma often kills as the diagnosis is being made; choriocarcinoma is famously fast. I've seen people die in car wrecks due to brain metasatses clueless that they had cancer, but the three i named first are the really speedy ones if untreated.
