Insidious, an adjective, or a 2011 horror flick. Either way, I can't shake the word from my brain.
Dr. Braughan talked of Mantle Cell Lymphoma as if it was alive. A villain. The monster under your bed.
She described it as insidious.
insidious
in·sid·i·ous | \ in-ˈsi-dē-əs \
1a: having a gradual and cumulative effect: SUBTLE
the insidious pressures of modern life
b: of a disease: developing so gradually as to be well established before becoming apparent
2a: awaiting a chance to entrap: TREACHEROUS
b: harmful but enticing: SEDUCTIVEAll I can think of is a quote from Sylvia Plath:
insidious drugs
"I must get my soul back from you; I am killing my flesh without it."
