As a malignant growth, it may be a disguise for some terrifying event or memory that you’ve incorporated into your unconscious, possibly repressed, that’s eating away at you; some aspect of your life that is out of control; anxiety about the disease.
Consider the symbolism for the body area where the cancer occurs. Persons with cancer have dreams depicting upheaval and crumbling, or contain pollution, contamination, or poisoning situations.

Last night I dreamed that i was diagnosed with terminal cancer. There was a young doctor in the dream who told me that when the moon looked orangey red that would be the day I would die. Each day I watched the colour of the moon starting to cover the whole moon. Then I started worrying about my children and that they would forget me. I didn’t feel ill, though, in the dream.

I dreamt last night that I found out I had cancer and only had a few weeks to live. I felt that it was because I am a smoker, though it wasn’t lung cancer that I had. I was the same age as I am now, but felt much older. I was looking up old friends to tell them goodbye and to tell them what they meant to me. I was feeling very sorry for myself and my children. I woke up terrified and convinced that I shouldn’t smoke anymore.
