      Many many many!

      In fact, cancer is different for everybody… because we are all different and cancer is made of us.

      The biggest differences between cancers are what type of cells there are made of. Probably the biggest difference in the effect it has depends on where the tumour is.

      But the cancer evolves, and accumulates changes. So even the cancer a person had last week might not be the same any more.

      This is why cancer is so hard to fight!
