Signs Of Cancer

There are no fewer than 200 different cancers and more than 60 different organs in which cancer can develop. Though a headache may just be a headache, having several symptoms at once could be a sign of something more serious. Having regular checkups and reporting health changes to your doctor is the No. 1 tool in catching cancer in its early stages and possibly even preventing a serious health crisis.


Bladder Pain


Cancer of the prostate may be characterized by difficulty urinating, frequent urgency to urinate, burning or painful urination, bloody urine, a tender bladder and dull ache in the pelvis or back.


Bone Pain


Chronic pain in a specific bone accompanied by swelling could be signs of bone cancer. Additional symptoms might include weakness, fatigue, weight loss, frequent infections, nausea, vomiting, constipation, problems urinating and numbness in the legs or persistent bumps and bruises.


Headaches


Signs of brain cancer include dizziness, feeling drowsy, vision problems, weakness, numbing in the arms or legs, difficulties walking, seizures, irregularities in your personality, memory or speech problems, headaches that ease throughout the day, nausea or vomiting.


Lumps in the Breast


Characteristics of breast cancer are enlarged lymph nodes under the arm, a lump in the breast and nipple discharge.


Abdominal Pain


Blood in the stool, abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea, weight loss, loss of appetite, fatigue and pale complexion could be signs of colorectal cancer.
