      I’ve dealt with patients who let their small tumors grow for months and even years, going from easily treatable to highly difficult to treat for cure to even metastatic. It’s depressing.https://twitter.com/UrbaneDoc4Kids/status/1274523945178411009 …

      You: they don’t cure breast cancer because they’ll lose money Me: chemo is expensive and often works You: what about relapse? Me: what about cures for decades? You: whatever. I do what I want.

      We had a woman with a fungating breast mass in the ED once. I’m asking the cancer guys how it got so bad. Their answer was, “She had to have let it go for months. Probably only came in because of the smell.” Kinda scary, the denial people get.

      Not just months, often it’s years. These fungating masses are usually fairly indolent cancers, because the aggressive ones metastasize before they fungate.

          Oh, man. “Years” is kind of a gut punch.
