Honestly I don’t know how a body could. My husband started out fine. He was diagnosed with lung Ca with bone metastasis. He had NO signs or symptoms other than a sore back which wouldn’t feel better. I said, “you better go see the Dr”. Of course he didn’t because had an appt for his annual checkup in a few months. Big mistake. That cancer is having a field day!
Nothing on his blood test which was taken later was abnormal except the alkaline phosphatase at 400+. So this lead to an X-ray, which lead to an MRI, which finally lead a PET scan. OMG! The results showed cancer everywhere! He even had 2 fractured vertebrae which had to be surgically fixed with glue.
It’s not like he was immediately started on radiation either…we kept wondering when ? Then it was 2 weeks of radiation and he finally had to use 2 canes for walking. This is a man that took care of 3.5 acre as now sits, the weeds are growing. He used to be so active and his beautiful muscular legs are gone, he’s so little. He’s taking oral chemo, but can only tolerate 1/2 the dosage. He does walk a lot. That’s also becoming less with time.
I’ve read about this cancer. You can be born with this gene! And never know it. I thought if anything he would get skin Ca from working outside in the sun here in FL for 45 years.
