    I would imagine some of the worst are rare conditions that take you from the inside out. I can’t find reference to the name of the disease, but I swear I remember seeing a bone condition that caused spiky growths, almost like crystals, to form from your bones.

    It would be slow and excruciating and you would beg for death long before it ever came.

      That’s what bone cancer is…

      Sometimes it’s just a lump in one spot. Sometimes it’s a whole bunch of tiny growths that push into nerves and flesh.

      Proteus Disease is what the Elephant Man had, but that’s really just a super specific version of bone cancer.
