My brother-in-law's uncle lived over
fifteen years with bone cancer but finally
passed on in december and my ex's father
died three months after finding out he had
a brain tumor...

Apparently you can have thyroid cancer for
example, and not know it for 5 years at
least. And even then it's quite curable
even at that stage. But it does seem that
when a person finds out they are diagnosed
with some type of cancer, the disease gets
worst very quickly. Could it be
psychological ?????
When you don't know that you have cancer,
your system reacts differently???
Or just coincidence about doctors finding
out too late and just at the point of
acceleration......?
Don't know
