The human body is like Goya’s later work. It’s impressive but holy fuck can it also be terrifying.

Can you imagine people going through something like this 500 years ago, before medicine really understood what was happening? No diagnosis, no explanation just pain and changes in their body with no clear reason why.
No treatment, no real way to help, just confusion and suffering. It’s hard to even picture how they dealt with that. FUCK ME.

Yep, and here’s the skull of a patient showing serious bone cancer.
When I was in karate as a kid there was this guy named Mark. He was a big dude that I was afraid to spar with lol. One day we were sparring and his big toe just randomly broke… When they ran the scans it was determined he had bone cancer and he was gone within 4 months.

Can confirm, my dog had this and this is what his leg felt like.
Not this extreme because we did the humane thing but you could literally feel these points starting

I wish I had the grades for med school man, everyones reaction is to be shocked and horrified, and I am too, but mostly I’m just FASCINATED. How does it do that? Why does it form like a pincushion? Why are there so many types of cancer in general?? It seems like research in the field of oncology is never done, just because cancer forms in so many different ways. Id love to help.

This is why assisted suicide should be legal everywhere. Forcing people to live through this is so cruel.
Idea: call NASA, have them find the nearest black hole and build me a rocket. Give me some good drugs and I’ll be the first human ever to go into a black hole.
I wouldn’t want to live through this, but I also want to help advance science. Win-win.

There was a period when *Here on Earth* seemed to be on cable every time I got home from night shift, and I watched it so many times, in spite of hating it. The premise of the female lead dying of “leg cancer” seemed pretty low effort. Having seen this image, I take it all back. Forgive my mockery, Leelee!

My dog had osteosarcoma and while she was only 4, we could have amputated but there was a 95% chance it would metastasise somewhere else within 6 months. From first signs to euthanasia was less than a month. Devastating

I lost a lovely old greyhound girl to this cancer it came on fast. It is common in greyhounds apparently. But wow – what a terrible thing when the body does this to us. I don’tknow how they flensed this bone to show the cancer whether the person died or lost their leg becaus eof it, but yes this is really interesting but also once seen not unseen and I hope I never have to contend with it again irl now I have seen it. (Our darling old girl a week before diagnoses and euth.)

Edit: [A case of bone cancer (osteosarcoma) was found in a human ancestor from about 1.7 million years ago](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/article/oldest-human-cancer-disease-origins-tumor-fossil-science)
