Been there, done that several times. The cancer sits on the aorta and it eats through it. In very short time all the blood in the body seems to be on outside of body. Very unpleasant type of code, very, very nasty death for patients. Why do you think I can hardly look at a person with a cigarette in their hand and have distance myself from the smokers in my family.
