Our body and mind have the power to send signs whenever something is wrong with our body. Sometimes, we decide to accept these warnings, and other times, we simply ignore them.
Paying attention to these signs, that are often subtle, can lead to early detection of an illness and increase the chances of battling it successfully.Below are some of the early signs that warn us cancer is present in our body.
While most of us love being skinny and lose some weight when we are not happy with our appearance, losing weight all of a sudden, without making any changes in our diet or lifestyle may indicate the presence of cancer. This is especially true if the weight loss is significant and in a short amount of time.
Possible forms of cancer associated with unexplained weight loss are stomach, pancreas, or liver cancer (affects digestion and metabolism), lung or esophageal cancer (which interferes with swallowing and appetite), and blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma (which affect metabolism and immune function).
Unlike fatigue that is a result of lack of sleep and tiredness, fatigue that may indicate some more serious conditions, including cancer, is persistent.
Certain forms of cancer that cause fatigue are leukemia and lymphoma, colon or stomach cancer (causing slow internal bleeding and leading to anemia), or liver cancer.
