I've found a lump in my arm this afternoon and going to get a drs same day appointment tomorrow. However I'm wondering how fast they can grow as almost certain it's bigger since finding it. May just be my imagination though...
We had this sorta conversation with the breast specialist. The simple answer is, if a lump is growing, it's growing all the time. Hard cancers don't just sprout within hours, though, even very aggressive ones.
The cancers that are deemed to be urgent and can overwhelm a person in no time at all are blood cancers. It's why some people begin treatment on the same day as their diagnosis. Some of those are classed as medical emergencies and need to be seen to asap.
