I think "severe" would work, also "traumatic" and for that matter "devastating".  Altho I suppose it depends on whether you're describing the cancer's physical or emotional effects.  Rapid and progressive could work for a more physical description.  I know there's a better word, but I just can't remember it.

They're describing physical effects. 'Rapid and progressive' captures the meaning but there is a word limit so maybe it could be called 'aggressive cancer' instead? Or 'fast-growing cancer'? :notsure:

"Aggressive" sounds right.

'aggressive' is used to describe cancer that is difficult to cure and is growing in the  patient.

Cancer staging determines disease progression and prognostics. Stages range from 0 to 4, with the latter being end-stage cancer. What would be a good way to say the cancer got worse in terms of stage progression? As in, went from stage 3 to 4, for instance.

The first word that comes to mind is "deteriorated" but that's not quite what I think you're looking to say.

Cancer no, but health could depending on how you word it. I don't think it's quite the word you're looking for but I do think it's in the ballpark.

Silver,

I lost my wife to cancer, and if the devil did exist, it's name would be Cancer.

i attempt to conceal my emotions, but my wishes for your recovery are the strongest I could possible feel toward you.
