EARLY SIGNS WHEN YOU HAVE CANCER... A MUST READ FOR ALL WOMEN - FINAL PART

... continued from Part 2

#11 Changes in Bowel Functions 

If you notice a long-term change in your bowel function, like persistent diarrhea or constipation, it may be a symptom of colon cancer. Catching it early with a colonoscopy could save your life. 

 

#12 Sores That Never Heal 

If you have a persistant sore or sores that don't seem to heal, you should get them checked out by a doctor right away. Sores inside the mouth can be signs of an oral cancer, and sores on the skin can be a sign of skin cancer. 

 

#13 Changes on Your Skin 

If you notice any changes on a wart or mole on your body, or any other changes on your skin, this could be a sign of melanoma, also known as skin cancer. See a doctor or dermatologist right away, melanoma can be treated easily if it's detected early. 

#14 White Patches Inside Your Mouth 

Smokers and tobacco users should be especially wary of this one: sores inside the mouth or on the tongue that don't go away can be a sign of leukoplakia, which leads to mouth cancer. Bring these to your doctor's attention if you catch them. 

#15 Any Other Major Changes 

If you notice any other major changes in the way your body functions or feels, you should see a doctor, especially if the changes persist or get worse. It may not be cancer, but any major change in your body is worthy of concern.
