Yes: All cancers, if not successfully treated by surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy, will eventually kill the patient. They range from tiny skin cancers that will take twenty years to eat into the brain if ignored, to aggressive sarcomas that respond to nothing and kill in a few weeks. Please get junior to a trustworthy medical group, and good luck.
