Answers:
Well, when you have cancer, it's generally because there is a tumor (mass of cell overgrowth) inside your body!. The only thing that is generally different with cancers, besides the types and where they occur in your body, is the tumor can be either malignant (which seems to be what you have if it is reoccurring) or benign, which means that it is not transferring to other parts of the body!. Hope this helped, and I hope everything works out for you sweetie!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Some tumors are not cancerous but can still cause you problems especially if in the brain!. Write down all you questions and take the list with you to ask the doctor or nurse!. Some tumors are fatty, and others are like cysts, and many others!. Learn as much as you can about your problem and get clarification when confused!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well!.!.!. sorry, but i don't know how to get past it!.
i did learn from school that a cancer cell is a single mutated cell that rapidly grows out of control!.
a tumor is just a bunch of those cancer cells!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
