      Cancer is a disease caused when the information stored inside a cell gets confused, and when new cells get made mistakes are made. The main problem with cancer is that the cells just keep growing, and because they are made with the wrong information, they cause a lot of problems. Cancer is really difficult to treat with medicines because cancer cells look like normal cells in many ways, so it’s tough to remove just caner cells without hurting normal cells. This is what causes side-effects like feeling sick and losing your hair when you take medicines for cancer
