Re: Fungating Back
yyyeeech! FYI, "fungating" is when a malignant tumor infiltrates the skin and underlying tissue, and instead of ulcerating, which is a craterlike oozy sore, it fungates, which means it grows outward through the skin invasivly. This poor guy's a goner--at that stage of a fungating malignancy, treatment is aimed at pallative care (comfort) and quality of life measures.
