The doctor explained that “Everyone’s body is made up of millions of tiny cells, so tiny you cannot see them without a microscope. These cells go to make different things our bodies need – like blood, muscle or bone. Sometimes the cells start to divide up to make new cells too Damaged cells 7 Healthy cells quickly and do not do their job properly. Lots of damaged cells are made and they stop the good cells from working properly. This is called cancer. When the damaged cells do not know what they should do they begin to stick together to form a lump. This is called a tumour. There are lots of different kinds of cancer.”
