This was great. I learned something I didn't know about how cancer spreads. One thing I would add is how to pronounce metastasis (e.g. muh-tas-stuh-sis). Words like metastasized can trip people up. I wrote a series on my own experiences with stage III testicular cancer. I didn't find it until the cancer had spread into my lymph system, so I quickly learned about metastasis when I was diagnosed. Since then, I have been fascinated by the science behind cancer. I really enjoy reading posts like this one.

Thank you for the suggestion, I will add the pronunciation to the document. You are right it is a difficult word to pronounce! :)
I am sorry to hear about your experiences with cancer! It has played a role in my own life (though thankfully to this point not to me directly) however with out going into too much detail, it was my desire to understand it more that led me to choosing science as a profession.
