Cancer symptoms you shouldn’t ignore
Persistent exhaustion, unexplained weight loss and a cough that won’t go away are among the symptoms that can sometimes be overlooked or attributed to something else. However, Dr. Kubes emphasized that experiencing one of these symptoms does not mean someone has cancer.
“One symptom on its own rarely points to cancer, and the vast majority of people experiencing these symptoms will not have cancer. The important thing is persistence. If something continues for several weeks, keeps returning or simply doesn’t feel right for you, it’s always worth getting checked rather than assuming it will eventually go away,” he says, according to OK!.
Everyone gets tired every now and then. But fatigue that continues despite getting enough rest is something to look out for.
“Cancer-related fatigue is often described as an overwhelming exhaustion that doesn’t improve with sleep. There are many possible explanations, including anaemia, thyroid disorders, infections and poor sleep, but persistent fatigue should always be discussed with your GP if it isn’t improving.”
