Symptoms

Share this:

Global women connected warning cancerSo much research has been done on cancer and there are several screening tests and successful treatments but it is still a major killer – especially for those over 50 years of age.  There are many different types of cancer and they have very different symptoms.  But if cancer is caught early, you have a much better chance of successful treatment.

Some general signs of cancer are below but these symptoms can be caused by many different things. They are in no special order.  If you spot something different for you – see your Doctor.  We often hear of Doctors making the wrong diagnosis, so it might be worth getting a second opinion if you are worried.

Breathlessness
Unexplained vaginal bleeding
Persistent heartburn or indigestion
Looser poo or pooing more often
Feeling bloated
Difficulty swallowing
Sore that will not heal
Mouth or tongue ulcer that will not heal
Heavy night sweats
Unusual breast changes
Blood in your poo or wee
Unexplained weight loss
New mole or changes to a mole
Persistent cough or coughing up blood
Problems peeing
Unexplained pain or ache
Unusual lump or swelling anywhere

There is a lot of information on the Cancer Research UK web site.  Global women have written about drinking and cancer,ovarian cancer, cervcial cancer, treatments for breast cancer, preventing cancer and many other posts – search cancer on our web site.
