      A person can have a huge number of different types of cancer. Sometimes cancer is not dangerous and you can have an operation to remove it, but sometimes it can grow and spread and this is the most dangerous type. When the tumour grows, little bits of it float around the body and grow little tumours in other places.

      There are over 200 different types of cancer! This is why it is so difficult to find a cure.
