could pain killers stop your body fighting cancer?

it's just a question i thought of. what if when you feel pain your body knows something is wrong so it goes to repair or fight it, but if you dont feel pain it doesn't do that?

this is probably dumb so just tell me why i'm wrong lol :)

    No. The immune system reactions are different than pain reaction.

    Immune reactions can cause pain,l but blocking the pain does not block the immune reactions.
