What is the worst kind of cancer?

I'm writing a book. Someone in the book is going to be diagnosed with cancer (or any other kind of disease).





I don't want him to be immobalized or unable to form words. But for the story to go the way I want, he only has 4-7 months to live...





Can anyone help me? It can be any disease but I don't want to have to research it too much.

What is the worst kind of cancer?
melanoma... type of skin cancer caused mostly by too much exposure to the sun... this type of cancer can lead to all kinds of internal tumors...which makes you suffer.





Lost my mother to this type of cancer...from all the treatments she went thru...it wasn't easy on her at all...and she was only 46yrs old at the time.
Reply:any kind of cancer that is terminal.. maybe a part of the brain that they cannot remove and chemotherapy isnt working or something. or a cancer that is too far advanced for treatment.
Reply:Pancreatic cancer is one of the worst.
Reply:blood cancer it has a nother fancy name but its blood cancer.
Reply:Brain tumors have the most predictability as far as how much time a person has left.
Reply:I think a brain tumor ( an astrocytoma would be good) the lifespan is about right and depending on were it is located it would give what ever symptoms you wanted the character to have.
Reply:Apparently people generally don't have much time left once they're diagnosed with lung cancer (whether they smoke or not). My stepdad was given 3-4 months when they first found out. I've read that that's about average.
Reply:Lung cancer is a pretty harsh thing to have.
Reply:lung
Reply:ANY KIND
Reply:brain cancer
Reply:Pancreatic Cancer is the most deadly due to its fact there are no tests to check for it. People can survive lung cancer but you'd be hard pressed to find people that survive more than a couple years with pancreatic cancer. This is a fact!
Reply:No Offense but, If you don't research your book, no one will want to read it. Do you think James Patterson comes online and asks people stuff like this. The worst kind of cancer is Lukemia... duh. Children suffering and dying at young ages...isn't that the saddest kind there is. Imagine having you legs cut off at 12, only to die at 17. ( Actually happened to a schoolmate of mine). Imagine being 7 months old and in so much pain, and you don't understand why, and the chances of you making it to your second birthday are really low. Why don't you write a book on that? Go to childrens hospitals and interview these courageous children and share their wisdom with the world, before it is to late.





I can't believe 2 people gave my answer a thumbs down. I hope you read this. You are insensitive people, who have never experienced real pain and therefore are ignorant to the needs of our children!
Reply:every cancer is very bad. It depends what level its at. Breast cancer is a very big one. My fiance is going through this with his mother, and its not at the best stage right now, so any cancer can be bad, but the worst is when its at the last stage, where nothing can help it .
Reply:any kind in your body
Reply:the one you don't know about. get checked. they all are because you can die from any number of complications.
Reply:Pancreatic, small cell renal, or metastatic anything, especially lung, although your character might be too short of breath to speak well.
Reply:Pancreatic cancer is a winner if you are looking for something that is very deadly. Its so deadly because it often doesnt show symptoms until it is in later stages. Most of the people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer are older so if its a younger character you probably wouldnt choose that.





Leukemia is a blood cancer that requires a bone marrow transplant to survive. This is a cancer that is found in younger people. It isnt that debilitating of a disease in terms of inpairing mental or motor functions. However it isnt normally something that you are given a time range of life expectancy because if you do get a donor it is very survivable.





Your best bet would be to go with something like a testicular cancer that metastasizes and spreads throughout the body. Hodgkins Lymphoma is another option. It is survivable if caught early but it has the ablitity to spread to the entire body and destroy multiple organ systems.





Dont choose melanoma. Melanomas are easily cured by removal before they metastasize throughout the body.








I think a really good one could be AIDS. AIDS is often accompanied by Kaposi's Sarcoma, which is a primarily vascular cancer. It is incurable, especially in AIDS patients who have little to no immune system. Since HIV and AIDS patients are living longer the disease is becoming more and more common.
Reply:Pancreatic Cancer is almost always fatal. It kills you quickly.
