Untreated breast cancer: 8% increased death risk every 4 weeks.

Untreated breast cancer: 8% increased death risk every 4 weeks.
That means the risk doubles every 9 months.
I was shocked when I heard this yesterday.

Then I learned about the others:
- Small cell lung cancer doubles in 30 days.
- Burkitt lymphoma doubles in 48 hours.

"Growth rate" is what doctors call it. One of the key measures of how aggressive a cancer is.

Growth rate.

We spend our lives chasing growth.
In our careers. Our investments. Our impact.

But growth is just cell division. Neutral. Unstoppable.

Sometimes we choose it.
Sometimes we don't.

Sometimes it builds us.
Sometimes it kills us.
