First of all even if you don't treat a bee sting, nothing is going to happen to you and eventually it will disappear on its own.
Secondly if someone mistook a bee sting for cancer i would call that person a quack not a doctor lol. No doctor is going to call something "cancer" without the appropriate tests anyway, unless he's inviting litigation!

I agree, I would doubt so. The swelling and discoloration commonly associated with bee stings should subside in a relatively short amount of time whereas a tumor or other cancerous growth wouldn't. If anything, because of the dark-colored stinger, i can imagine it being confused for a tick-bite (if the stinger's left in of course), but not cancer.

Nope, it sure can't. I've been stung on the head before and all it did was leave a very painful welt on my skin (and it caused my allergies to go nuts). Who mistook the sting for cancer?? Did you make sure to let them know that you had been stung? It took the swelling on my sting three days to go down, so don't be alarmed if it doesn't dissipate immediately.

I seriously doubt it. They would have to other tests such as a Complete Blood Count etc..
