Strange events of this kind happened to increase massively over the last years, as nearly everybody can confirm these days: spontaneous fractures, tears, bleedings, falls, in some instances, affected persons are pretty clear of the causes, but nobody can provide effective help or therapy and will resort to some kind of superficial symptom treatment. My sister, who died of seemingly sudden, especially aggressive, metastasized turbo cancer all over her body, had suffered a bike accident and broke her shoulder severely about two years ago - which was kind of strange to me, because she just slipped away on a tram rail and, as it seems, was not able to brace her fall enough to protect herself against severe injuries.

Huh. Do you mind me asking what kind of cancer it was and where it originated in her body? More specifically, I'm curious if it precipitated around the site of the physical injury due to the fall.

Her cancer had already spread on the whole body, when it was diagnosed initially. A major diagnostic problem was just that, to establish the original, primary tumor, which was supposed to be located in her lungs, a kind of bronchial carcinoma, that was already quite large without causing obvious symptoms (and later identified by biopsy as such, but I do not know the exact oncological diagnostics).

But the most acute problem of her suffering were a number of proposed metastases in her brain, that had led to severe symptoms like vision and hearing problems, dizziness, mental fog, cognitive impairments etc. At a later time she suffered extreme pain in her legs, that increased to bouts of sudden pain attacks and crippled her remaining mobility completely.

As a matter of fact there was no clear connection to her site of injury, but her first symtoms, dizziness and vision impairment, seemed to originate from her neck, and gave rise to consulting an orthopedist, who prescribed an MRI of her cervical spine, which was without any findings. Only later, when an additional MRI of her head was done, several suspicious lesions were detected.

Damn. What was the timeframe from when she displayed the first symptoms to when she was gone?

From obvious symptoms, beginning in late September 2023, cancer was first diagnosed mid December and finally confirmed end of January 2024, standard therapy was planned for the next day after the results of her biopsy had been established - starting with radiation of her head, then chemo therapy in combination with immune therapy (possibly with two different agents).

After one week of brain radiation with severe side effects, they terminated further treatment, so she died in mid February, all in all within less than 5 month.

But there were, possibly, earlier subtle warning hints, of vision impairment, my sister was not sure, when that might have begun the very first time.
