Why do people die from cancer even though they are receiving treatment?
In: Biology
The treatments also massively injure the healthy parts of your body and limit the body’s ability to fight off common diseases like a cold/rsv and diseases that are apparently floating around that people not on massive doses of chemo wouldn’t even blink at. So, you are more likely to get very ill and even die from non-cancerous crap while you are in treatment, too, but that is still a cancer or cancer-adjacent fatality.
