5. You suffer from stomach pain or dysphagia
Digestive problems can be relatively minor, but not if they are accompanied by stomach pain and dysphagia – difficulty swallowing. When that happens, it can be a sign of gastrointestinal cancer.
6. You find a lump
If you notice a lump in your breast, it could be cancer, particularly if you develop other symptoms, such as red skin or wet nipples. After the age of 50, all women should have regular clinical screening every one to two years. In-between times, it doesn’t hurt to regularly check yourself for lumps either.
7. Your ganglions become swollen
Ganglions are clusters of nerve cells. When they swell up, it is usually part of an organism’s defense reaction against disease. If this is coupled with a persisting and irritating cough, it would be wise to get it checked out, as it could be an indicator of lung, respiratory system or throat cancer.
