How is cancer so deadly but a person feels fine one day then the next they are told they have 4 months to live?
In: Biology
Scrolled a bit to see if anyone mentioned the metabolism and didn’t see it.
The cells divide rapidly yes, but what is important is all of those cells need nutrients, oxygen, and to have wastes removed to survive. Your bodies normal cells are eventually starved of nutrients, essentially bullied by the abnormal cancer cells. This increases the amount of calories you use per day, which is why cancer patients tend to lose weight drastically without effort.
