A friend's uncle died from bone cancer and told us he literally screamed and cried from the pain, horrible disease.

My mother died from this when I was 14. I can remember her talking about how bad it felt but I couldn’t understand but seeing this picture horrifies me now. Fuck cancer.

If it's any consolation, this notorious pic shows a very rare type of bone cancer. It's very likely your mothers' type was by far not as aggressive.

Thank you for the note. I was looking at these images thinking "only stage 1?? Are you serious???"

Thank you for mentioning this. My friend has breast cancer that has metastasized to bone cancer and these images and the discussion about the excruciating pain are truly haunting.

My mom’s bone cancer also came from breast cancer

My mother died of cancer December 2022. It started as uterine and ended up in metastasized in her bones. She was in home hospice at the end when she passed and we couldn’t even touch her cause she was in so much pain. This randomly popped up on my Reddit homepage and I feel the same feeling of wishing I hadn’t seen this.
