Are all the different cancers really that different or is it all just cancer and we just specify where it formed?

Calling cancer “cancer ” is kinda like saying you broke a computer. You didn’t describe in anywhere near enough detail. how you did it. What broke? How severe? Is the damage widespread? Did we figure it was broken before it became catastrophic?
I had stage 4 leukemia, which isn’t anywhere close to describing what happened to me. The actual disease i had was described to me as “burkitts cell leukemia, cns positive” while the leukemia portion was labeled “acute lymphoblastic” every single word in those phrases alone is serious and combined together is practically a death sentence with the exception of one word: burkitts. My version of leukemia, while severe and very insanely deadly if left untreated, had a 90 percent survival rate if treated. I was a healthy man, cancer free, less than a year after diagnosis. The diseases all describe the generic issue of defective cells’ DNA causing them to replicate out of control, but *how* they do that is a completely different matter all together.
