“What is cancer?” Mary asked. The doctor explained that“Everyone’s body is made up of millions of tiny cells, so tiny thatyou cannot see them without amicroscope. These cells make updifferent things our bodies need -like blood, muscle or bone.Healthy cellsSometimes the cells start to divide up to make new cells tooquickly and do not do their job properly. Lots of damaged cellsare made and they stop the good cells from working properly.This is called cancer. Somecancers grow more quicklythan others.”Damaged cells6
“When the damaged cellsdo not know what theyshould do they begin tostick together to form alump, which is called atumour.There are different types of brain tumour. Some are treatedwith surgery only, and others need to be treated withchemotherapy and radiotherapy as well.”7
