These are a few signs I gathered from research. It may help you detect early signs of cancer.
1 White Patches Inside Your Mouth
Smokers and tobacco users
should be especially wary of this one: sores inside the mouth or on the tongue
that don't go away can be a sign of leukoplakia, which leads to mouth cancer.
Bring these to your doctor's attention if you catch them.
2 Changes on Your Skin
If you notice any changes
on a wart or mole on your body, or any other changes on your skin, this could
be a sign of melanoma, also known as skin cancer. See a doctor or dermatologist
right away, melanoma can be treated easily if it's detected early.
3 Sores That Never Heal
If you have
a persistent sore or sores that don't seem to heal, you should get
them checked out by a doctor right away. Sores inside the mouth can be signs of
an oral cancer, and sores on the skin can be a sign of skin cancer. Continue...
4 Changes in Bowel Functions
I you notice a long-term
change in your bowel function, like persistent diarrhea or constipation; it may
be a symptom of colon cancer. Catching it early with a colonoscopy could save
your life.
5 Don't Panic!
Many of the symptoms on this list are very common everyday pains
and maladies that people without cancer experience. But it is important to be
in tune to what your body is telling you, and if you are experiencing one or
more of these symptoms on a regular basis, you should talk to a doctor as soon
as possible. Early detection is important and it could save your life.
6 Any Other Major Changes
If you notice any other
major changes in the way your body functions or feels, you should see a doctor,
especially if the changes persist or get worse. It may not be cancer, but any
major change in your body is worthy of concern.
