Indeed, if Breast cancer symptoms are left unnoticed or ignored, then the chances of the infected area spreading to organs of other parts of the body are inevitable. Also to mention the malignant area of the breast will worsen and eventually start to swell, bruise, redden, dimple, or tear the skin.

∙ 11y agoIn the case of malignant cancers:
According to Dr. Otto Heinrich Warburg(Nobel Prize Winner 1931), cancer cells change from being 'Aerobic'( oxygen-fueled ) to become 'Anaerobic'( non oxygen-fueled ), actually sugar-fueled!
As oxygen can no longer be absorbed through these cells, our organs begin to break down and the cancer cell's need for sugars, robs our bodies of their nutrients.
As oxygen can no longer be tolerated & becomes a poison to the cancerous cells, in their drive to survive they enter into the blood stream and travel to other areas of the body & multiply utilising the old addage of safety in numbers.
They will keep on multiplying until the organs shut down and the patient dies.

What damage does leukemia cause if left untreated?
In untreated leukemia, the ability to fight infection decreases because the leukemic cells accumulate and lessen the production of oxygen-carrying red blood cells, blood-clotting cells, and normal white blood cells, which are the main infection fighters. If left untreated, the surplus cancer cells overwhelm the bone marrow, enter the bloodstream, and will eventually invade other parts of the body, such as the lymph nodes, spleen, liver, the brain, and spinal cord. The bad news is, there is no way to prevent leukemia, because scientists have been unable to figure out what causes it. The good news: treatment is highly effective in many cases.
