Answer 1

Yes, there are multiple tumors that you can be born with, and over 100 different types of cancer. Most are benign, but the most common cancers are germ cell tumors gonadal tumors, and blue cell tumors (often called blastomas). They can grow for years before detection, and often lead to death. Tumors are non-cancerous growths. Cancer is uncontrolled growth. Both destroy surrounding tissue and structures.

Tumors push and compress organs and tissues that surround it, cutting off blood supply and starving it of nutrients. People usually die because the tumor damages vital structures or organs before it is recognized and removed.

Cancer originates from normal cells that can't stop growing. As they continue to grow, they eat up, take over and destroy existing tissue, organs and structures, basically replacing the healthy tissue or organ with non-functioning and fast growing cells. They can also break off and migrate to other parts of the body, called metastasis, and destroy other healthy organs and tissue.

Neuroblastoma, Retinalblastoma, Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Angiosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, Rhabdomyosarcoma, Medulloblastoma, and Wilm's tumor (kidney) are some common cancerous tumors in infants and children.

Clear cell carcinoma and Chordoma's are rare cancers, but also can go years without detection.

Fetus in fetu, teratoma, parasitic twin,or other "vanished twin" can cause death if the undeveloped tumor continues to grow.

There are so many different types that it is very hard to name them all. I've included a few websites for you to look at.

I am a Cytotechnologist, a professional who detects and identifies all these different types of cancer and more, each day. If I found out I had terminal cancer, I would learn as much as possible about my type of cancer. Ask about the different treatments out there, and what the risks and morbidity rates are for each. Then I would look at experimental and alternative treatments. Believe it or not, the diagnosis of terminal is not always terminal.

Last but not least, I would do what I do each day: live for today, treat everyone like it will be the last time I see them, enjoy life and try to touch each person I meet with love and kindness.

Death is inevitable for us all. It is how we live our lives that has true meaning.
