Most cancers are insidious in onset and are therefore over-looked until well established. This is what makes them so dangerous. If discovered at an early stage cancer is usually curable. Pain is rarely an early symptom. There are, however, some symptoms which should recieve prompt attention by the physician. Note especially the following:
A lump in the breast. Women should feel their breasts occasionally and if a lump is found, report it to a doctor.
A vaginal discharge, especially bleeding between periods or after menopause.
Any abnormal digestive symptoms which resist, especially associated with loss of weight or change in bowel habits.
Any sore on the lips or tongue or skin that does not heal readily.
Rectal pain, bleeding, or obstinate constipation. These may be only symptoms of heamorrhoids but they should be investigated nevertheless.
Any change in a mole or wart, birth-mark.
A persistent difficulty in swallowing.
A persistent hoarseness or cough.
Unusual or unexplained loss of weight or aneamia.
Presence of blood in the urine.
From this list it will be evident that cancer may present a variety of symptoms, many of which are commonplace and frequently associated with conditions other than cancer. But let it be emphasized that to avoid cancer you should safeguard your health at every point. However, do not become morbid, always dwelling upon every trivial symptom and imagining others. Intelligently investigate unusual symptoms and have a periodic examination even when you have no such symptoms.
Cancer can be cured if it is discovered in time. Always be on the alert to discover anything abnormal in your body.
