especially breast cancer. i'm a little worried, but i'd appreciate if you could tell me the symptoms of cancer in general too. thanks so much.
Different cancers have different symptoms and signs.
For instance: lung cancer: shortness of breath, coughing up blood, among other things
Breast cancer starts out with a lump that is not the normal lumpy bumpy breast tissue. sometimes it will be very painful, others no pain at all. sometimes it will cause reddened skin, others it won't.
The only way to know for sure is a mammogram.
I almost had cancer so I would say, being tired all the time and not wanting to do anything. always wanting to sleep and have no energy. If your breasts hurt my advice would be to go to your gyno and talk to him/her about it. Maybe they can schedule you a
mammogram. Thats the best advice I can give you. your never too young or old to get one. I had my first one a month ago and I'm happy I did. It's a relief to know that the twins are fine.
If you are 40 and above, go for annual mammograms and ultrasound tests. Lumps in the breasts cannot be easily palpated. As long as you feel there is something not right, go see a specialist IMMEDIATELY, because cancer cells multiplies fast and you can move from stage 2 to stage 3 and 4 very quickly.
as to breast cancer a lump in one of your breast. an example on signs to look for in throat,tongue cancer.sore throat,hard to swallow,hoarseness, coughing up what looks like flesh and blood.my husband began to complain of having a sore throat that he could barely swallow voice became hoarse when he would talk. this went on for months then one day he began couching up what appeared to be flesh a week later after noticing the flesh looking materiel he began coughing up blood,like 3 towels full. took him to e.r. from there we learned he had tongue cancer.
Generally, one symptom of cancer is tiredness !!!!
