How do patients with bone cancer die?

Q:

A: On a VERY basic level, all cancers start and end the same way: healthy cells mutate into cancerous one, which then multiple till there are too many of them for your body to fight off. They then grown their own system to sustain and feed them, allowing further growth.By the time they kill a person, there are so many cancer cells, your white blood cells, which are infection fighters, are so few in number, they do not work any longer. A good mental image for you would be you being tackled by 15 guys playing ball. You are a white blood cell, they are the cancerous ones. Even if you fought off 4 guys, there would still be a pile left to keep you down.Your body’s white cell system is what drives your immune system. When your immune system is weak [as it is with cancer] the body cannot fight infection well. Even a little cold becomes a struggle. So when someone gets a much worse condition than a cold, they die.But let’s say for a moment a patient never got sick from a second source like a cold, etc. That person’s white cell count would drop to the point that the patient needs a blood transfusion — a replacement of your blood, with donated blood from a blood drive. If that didn’t help dramatically, the patient would get even more cancer cells and less white ones till the person’s body gives out and he dies
