Unexpected Weight Loss
Losing 10 pounds or more without trying may be a warning. “Cancer cells ruin the body’s metabolism,” leading to sudden weight loss. It’s often linked to stomach, pancreas, liver, lung, or blood cancers.
Constant Fatigue
Feeling exhausted despite rest might signal cancer. “Cancer-related fatigue is constant, serious, and doesn’t enhance with sleep.” This can be linked to leukemia, lymphoma, colon, stomach, or liver cancer.
Skin Changes
Watch for new or changing moles, sores that won’t heal, or yellowing skin. “Any mole, lump, or skin discoloration that appears or changes over time should be examined.” These may point to melanoma, liver, pancreatic, or internal organ cancers.
Persistent Pain
Ongoing pain without cause—whether in bones, the head, pelvis, or chest—needs attention. “Cancer-related pain doesn’t improve with rest or medication.”
Unusual Lumps
Hard, painless lumps that grow over time can signal cancer. “The appearance of a lump, swelling, or thickening of tissue anywhere in the body should never be ignored.”
Early action saves lives.
