    choose between having an acute health condition and cancer

    The ironic part is you just might be better off with the cancer. An acute problem could be anything, from broken bones or an infection to a heart attack or acute radiation poisoning. At least with cancer you know what you’re going to get and should have time to seek treatment.

      The common cold is also an acute condition. So maybe if you try reeeeeeaaaaally hard, you’ll actually get the point I’m making here and why I used that as an example.

      Best of luck!

        Could have said something specific then, rather than “literally anything acute”. As it is, I don’t know why you’d assume your magical elf that’s known to cause cancer could also be so benign as to only give people a cold.
