Kindly let me know the warning signs for cancer

Cancer starts quietly. A little fatigue that lingers longer than it should. A strange ache in your back that you blame on your mattress. A nagging cough that refuses to go away. We excuse it. We rationalize it. We say, I’m just getting older, or I’ve been stressed lately. Cancer doesn’t always announce itself with a lump you can feel. Sometimes, it’s a whisper in the background of your life, waiting to be heard.

The Warning Signs of Cancer That No One Talks About; Unexplained Fatigue—The kind that sleep doesn’t fix.

The kind that drags at your bones and turns simple tasks into mountains. Changes in Weight—Losing or gaining weight without trying. Not the kind that comes from a diet, but the kind that sneaks up on you without explanation. Persistent Pain—A dull ache in your back, your abdomen, your joints.

The kind that doesn’t go away with rest. Skin Changes—A mole that darkens, a spot that won’t heal, a patch of skin that suddenly looks different. Digestive Issues—Bloating, persistent heartburn, changes in bowel habits. Symptoms that come and stay, no matter what you eat. Unusual Bleeding—Coughing up blood, blood in your stool or urine, heavier periods, postmenopausal spotting. Lumps or Swelling—Anywhere, at any time.

A swollen lymph node that never shrinks, a lump that wasn’t there before. Nagging Cough or Hoarseness—Not from a cold, not from allergies—just there, lingering, refusing to leave. Anybody with any of the above developments should quickly see a doctor for a proper medical examination.
