Patients suffering of no matter what form of cancer experience different symptoms and signs. There are many variables from one case to another. However, there is a list of common symptoms that may send you immediately to a physician for analysis.

The classic, if I may say so symptom, world wide known in suspecting breast cancer is a breast lump. This is what every woman will tell you: a breast lump signals the possibility of cancer. Other warning signs of breast cancer are unusual bleeding and skin mole change. When these signs are observed the cancer is already in an advanced stage. The good news about breast cancer or about any form of cancer, if there is such a good news regarding cancer, is that early diagnosis means a good prognosis. Cancer discovered in early stage is highly treatable.



However, there are some other symptoms that may raise question marks. In the following lines there are described 7 of the most important warning signs of cancer that could help you detect in time this awful disease.

The first one is abdominal bloating. Distended or bloated abdomen can mean a sign of ovarian cancer or colorectal cancer. If this bloating lasts more than one, two weeks then it requires a medical exam.



The second sign one should be worry about is feeling full sensation as after eating a big meal. If this sensation goes on for a longer period can mean either pancreatic or stomach cancer. For women this also associates with loss of weight and appetite.

In the third place comes breast swelling. A lump is for most women extremely bad news. Not just the lump is warning sign of breast cancer but also the swelling of the breast or even just a part of the breast is a bad sign. Also worry if the skin is red or discolored. Other symptoms in case of inflammatory breast cancer are: dimpling, skin irritation, itching, nipple don’t discharge milk but other liquids, nipple thickening or breast skin thickening. They all sound extremely worrying and should not be ignored under no circumstances.

The fifth sign is drastic weight loss. This loss is worrying if it comes when the appetite is normal, eating as well, and no diet is intended.

Last tow warning signs are hoarseness and stripped nails. Persistent straining of the voice can signal stomach, thyroid, or esophageal cancer. In the case of stripped nail the diagnosis could be skin cancer.

Your body signals you when something is wrong. In most cases we ignore the things it is telling us. Days go by until when, sometimes, it’s too late to notice them. The lesson here is to listen carefully to your body and treat every malfunctioning in detail.
