A member asked:
Can you feel cancer metastasizing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: In the tip of a mechanical pencil lead, there is room for 100k to 1m cancer cells. So, if one cell or 20 are building a colony, not only will you not feel it, no test is able to "see" it until there are 1-10m cells.
