Oncologist Shares Cancer Symptoms You Shouldn't Ignore
Sometimes our bodies give us clues that something isn't right.
Dr. Sekeres, a cancer doctor, wants people to pay attention to these clues.
One sign is swollen lymph nodes that don't go away or grow larger.
Changes in how often you poop or if there's blood can also be a sign.
Losing weight without trying or a cough that lasts a long time might be important clues, too.
While these can be from many things, check with a doctor if you see these signs.
Persistent or unusual health changes warrant a doctor visit.
Painless, hard, and growing lymph nodes should be checked.
Changes in bowel habits, like diarrhea or bleeding, can be signs.
Unexplained weight loss of 10% or more may indicate cancer risk.
A chronic cough that lasts over eight weeks is another sign.
