20 Cancer Signs & Symptoms Not To Avoid by Nonso92(op): 8:07am On Sep 10, 2016
As humans, there are some signs and symptoms that we see or notice on our bodies, and neglect them. Our anti bodies try to fight against infections and other diseases that we might contract, and sometimes our anti bodies might not be enough. That's why we need to always be cautious of changes in our body so that what ever the case may be, we would be prepared to prevent against negative health issues or complications.

Below, I would be listing some early signs and symptoms that often leads to cancer that we might not be aware of.

Although these symptoms may be caused as a result of other health issues, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are only early signs and symptoms for cancer. So it is advised that we should seek for medical advice and go for regular medical check ups before using any medicine.

Like the doctors always warn, Self medication is dangerous. Always seek for medical advice from a doctor or pharmacist.

In no proper order, here goes our list

1. Swollen Face

This is common in lung cancer patients as they usually have swollen or red face due to the fact that lung tumors block the chest blood vessels and restrict the blood flow to the face.

Nipple Changes

The nipple might be inverted, flat or sideways. This is the most common change before a final diagnosis is made.

3. Unexplained Weight Loss

This symptom usually points out to colon and other digestive cancers. Additionally, it could be a sign of cancer that has spread to the liver, affecting the appetite and the ability of the body to eliminate toxins.

4. Painful & Strange Periods or in Between Period Spotting

This might be uterus cancer. Do a trans-vaginal ultrasound if you have heavier periods.

5. Changes In the Nails

Fingernail changes could indicate several cancers. For example, a brown or black streak or a dot under the nail could be a symptom of skin cancer, whereas the newly-discovered “clubbing”- enlargement of the ends of the finger with nails that curve down over the tips- could indicate lung cancer. Furthermore, pale or white nails could sometimes be a symptom of liver cancer.

6. Fever & Infections

Frequent fevers and infections may indicate leukemia as the infectious blood cells remove all shields of energy of the body.

7. Chronic Cough or Severe Chest Pain

Indicates on a several types of cancer like leukemia, this is followed with bad cough, lung cancer is followed with chest pain and it is taking your down side and the arm.

8. Red/Swollen/Sore Breasts

This is a clear sign of breast cancer.

9. Weakness or Fatigue

General fatigue and weakness may be a sign of many kinds of cancer. Consider any other weird symptom that you have in order to determine whether it is cancer. Consult your doctor every time you feel exhausted for no reason or in cases when proper sleeping does not help either.

10. Sore Skin/Lumps

It is always advisable to check every part of the skin for lumps or bleeds, these may indicate skin cancer or basal cell melanoma.

Don't forget to share this with someone you care about.

Remember, sharing is caring.
