          Oh man it’s pretty bad. Heads for the hip bone first and then climbs it’s way up your spinal column and into your ribs. The space between your skin and ribs basically turns into sandpaper and it just eats away at your nerve bundles within your spinal cord. All the while it’ll build this extracellular material that basically acts as a wall to prevent cancer treatments and pain medication from getting in.

          And in all of this the cancer is using the damage it’s causing to healthy cells to feed itself. It’s really high up there in incredibly painful ways to die. Makes up less than 1% of all prostate cancers, but has to be the most shit lotto to win.
