Unfortunately, there is no one answer for this question. Every cancer is different, every body is different. Depending on the type of cancer, one can have cancer for years and not know it. Other times, a cancerous tumor can cause problems that immediately affect the patient's health. When my son developed difficulty breathing, the doctor began treating him for Asthma. When the asthma treatments weren't working and his breathing became worse, my son was admitted into the hospital for advanced testing. A CT scan revealed a massive tumor invading his lung. It turned out to be a very aggressive form of lymphoma. Strangely enough, a good friend of mine was diagnosed with a lesser aggressive form of lymphoma only a few months prior to my son. Her doctor told her she'd probably had it for several years. Her tumors were small but by the time they found it, the cancer had spread to her bone marrow. (FYI, my son was treated with aggressive chemo and radiation and has been in remission for almost 2 years. My friend is still receiving periodic chemo treatments.) If for some reason you suspect you may have cancer, please don't rely on the fact that you "feel fine". On the flip side, if you're feeling sick, it doesn't mean it's cancer. Only a doctor's diagnosis will tell you.
