Our body often gives warning signs when something’s wrong—especially with serious illnesses like cancer. “Paying attention to these signs, that are often subtle, can lead to early detection… and increase the chances of battling it successfully.” Always consult a doctor if something feels off.

**1. Sudden Weight Loss**
If you’re losing weight quickly without changing your diet or lifestyle, it could be a warning. Cancers like stomach, liver, pancreas, lung, or blood cancers (like leukemia and lymphoma) can disrupt digestion, appetite, or metabolism.

**2. Constant Fatigue**
Tiredness that doesn’t go away with rest might be serious. Cancers such as leukemia, colon, or liver cancer can cause long-term fatigue due to anemia or immune system impact.

**3. Skin Changes**
Take note of moles with uneven borders, skin discoloration, or sores that won’t heal. “Any changes on the skin should be taken seriously,” as they might point to melanoma, skin, liver, or pancreatic cancer.

**4. Persistent Pain**
Pain that won’t go away or worsens may signal bone, brain, ovarian, or lung cancer.

**5. Lumps or Swelling**
Unusual lumps should never be ignored. See a doctor to rule out tumors or other underlying issues.
