      I don’t think that the cancer itself hurts, that’s why some cancers can grow so big before they are found. When the cancers press on nerves or start to damage your organs I think that can hurt a lot.

      Cancer itself doesn’t hurt. But sometimes a tumour can put pressure on other parts of your body or cause damage to organs, and that can cause pain.
