Based on the aggressiveness of the cancer in this story, my (non-medical) guess is that you wouldn't have seen the cancer any earlier unless you scanned every two months. This thing came out of nowhere and came fast. Even if you did see it... what would you do? Surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy... these things don't stop a metastatic cancer this aggressive. Without a cancer treatment that can stop the progression of an aggressive metastatic cancer within a week or two we are powerless to stop this type of death.
