Many of the warning signs for cancer are also the same warning signs for any kind of illness. One of the first signs many lung cancer patients remember noticing is the inability to catch their breath. Several types of cancer, including leukemia and lung tumors, can cause symptoms that mimic a bad cough or bronchitis. Some lung cancer patients report chest pain that extends up into the shoulder or down the arm. In addition, cancer cells thrive in an acidic environment but cease to exist in Alkaline environments.Frequent fevers or infections can be signs of leukemia, a cancer of the blood cells that starts in the bone marrow. Leukemia causes the marrow to produce abnormal white blood cells, sapping your body’s infection-fighting capabilities. Trouble swallowing is most commonly associated with esophageal or throat cancer, and is sometimes one of the first signs of lung cancer, too. Swollen lymph nodes or lumps on the neck, underarm, or groinEnlarged lymph nodes indicate changes in the lymphatic system, which can be a sign of cancer.

Excessive bruising or bleeding that doesn’t stop. This symptom usually suggests something abnormal happening with the platelets and red blood cells, which can be a sign of leukemia. Over time, leukemia cells crowd out red blood cells and platelets, impairing your blood’s ability to carry oxygen and clot. Generalized fatigue and weakness is a symptom of so many different kinds of cancer that you’ll need to look at it in combination with other symptoms. But any time you feel exhausted without explanation and it doesn’t respond to getting more sleep, talk to your doctor. Bloating or abdominal weight gain. Women diagnosed with ovarian cancer overwhelmingly report unexplained abdominal bloating that came on fairly suddenly and continued on and off over a long period of time. Feeling full and unable to eat is another warning sign for cancer.
