Cancer is one of the chronic diseases which is spreading faster than earlier predicted. The disease is mostly caused by cigarette smoking and lifestyle. Earlier signs of the disease are easily undetectable but if an individual is keen enough, he can detect the disease is in the body, and once he has proved so, cancer hospital is the only solution.
Early signs of cancer include:
Wheezing and shortness of breath
The most common cancer/asthma symptom is when an individual experiences shortness of breath. This time, especially at night, you feel like your nose is completely blocked and you can’t pass enough air. If you feel so, it’s wise to rush to hospital for cancer screening.
Lung cancer mostly starts with shortness of breathing, then wheezing follows.
Chronic Cough and Chest Pain
If a cough persists for more than 2 weeks without signs of relieve, then there are high chances you have either HIV or Cancer. In most cases, Leukemia and Lung Cancer are the cause of persistent coughing and chest pains.
Frequent Fever
An abnormally high body temperature, usually accompanied by shivering, headache, and in severe instances, delirium will be occurring in your body when Cancer sets in.If you notice that you have abnormal fever, which is persistent, please consult a doctor for cancer screening.
Swollen Lymph Nodes and Lumps in the neck
When changes occur to your tumors, lymph’s swell, causing difficulty in swallowing meals. Cancer usually affects the normal operations of the lymphatic system.
Before cancer reaches stage four and beyond, it’s better to seek treatment early so as to manage the disease before it kills you.
Weakness and fatigue
Cancer and HIV are the two diseases which normally cause fatigue and weakness. When Cancer starts affecting your immune system, any disease can make you weak, even sore throat.
An individual whose immune system is perfect does not feel weakness unless he has overworked himself. If you find yourself so weak even without doing ay chore, there is something wrong with your body; this is the right time to go for cancer screening.
Lack of appetite
Health people often have enough appetite, even to eat a whole goat, but if you find yourself full even when you have just woken up, there is something wrong for you. At this stage you have to go for HIV or cancer screening.
Sudden weight loss
Weight loss comes when someone is under depression, when he is doing physical exercise or during starvation. If you find, in two weeks, you have lost several kilos of weight, then start imagining of having cancer.
When the immune system is weakened, several body organs become ineffective; digestion becomes hard which result to poor food absorption. This cause slow growth of body tissues which result to loss of weigh at alarming rate. Cancer is one of the diseases which affect your immune system.
