Answer 1

There are more than 200 types of cancer and each one has different symptoms. If you tell particular cancer then the symptoms can be told. However i have tried to get information about general symptoms of this disease. Mostly the disease surface without any early signs or symptoms all of a sudden. We can be saved only regular cancer detection tests.

After the disease advance to a certain extent it shows in the body functions for both ladies and gents. Ladies get vaginal bleeding or lumps in breasts and other places.

Cancer is a group of diseases that may cause almost any sign or symptom. The signs and symptoms will depend on where the cancer is, the size of the cancer, and how much it affects the nearby organs or structures. If a cancer spreads (metastasizes), then symptoms may appear in different parts of the body.

As a cancer grows, it begins to push on nearby organs, blood vessels, and nerves. This pressure creates some of the signs and symptoms of cancer. If the cancer is in a critical area, such as certain parts of the brain, even the smallest tumor can cause early symptoms.

But sometimes cancers start in places where it does not cause any symptoms until the cancer has grown quite large. Pancreas cancers, for example, do not usually grow large enough to be felt from the outside of the body. Some pancreatic cancers do not cause symptoms until they begin to grow around nearby nerves (this causes a backache). Others grow around the bile duct, which blocks the flow of bile and leads to a yellowing of the skin known as jaundice. By the time a pancreatic cancer causes these signs or symptoms, it has usually reached an advanced stage.

A cancer may also cause symptoms such as fever, fatigue, or weight loss. This may be because cancer cells use up much of the body’s energy supply or release substances that change the body’s metabolism. Or the cancer may cause the immune system to react in ways that produce these symptoms.

Sometimes, cancer cells release substances into the bloodstream that cause symptoms not usually thought to result from cancers. For example, some cancers of the pancreas can release substances which cause blood clots to develop in veins of the legs. Some lung cancers make hormone-like substances that affect blood calcium levels, affecting nerves and muscles and causing weakness and dizziness. -

Answer 2

It depends on what cancer you are talking about.

I had breast cancer and I felt the lump, but had NO symptoms. I wouldn't have had symptoms until I was a lot sicker. That is one of the biggest things about cancer. You can have it a long time before any symptoms happen. Now, don't get freaked out. You can only do what you can as far as taking care of yourself and getting tested for things when you can. If you fear breast cancer, then do your monthly breast exam. Ovarian? See your gynecologist once a year like you are supposed to. Don't smoke. Things like that will at least assure that if you do get some kind of cancer, that it will be caught at the earliest and most treatable stage.

Answer 3

THEIR ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CANCER AND I DON'T THINK YOU GET ANY SYMPTOMS. Cancer IS NOT LIKE A COLD. THAT YOU KNOW YOUR GETTING ONE BEFORE YOU GET IT BECAUSE YOU FEEL ACHING BEFORE YOUR GET EVERYTHING ELSE THAT COMES WITH A COLD. BUT I HEAR THEIR ARE SOME DOGS OUT THEIR THAT CAN DETECT CANCER IN A PERSON. THEY DON'T STOP SNIFFING THE AREA OF THE OWNER WHERE THEY HAVE CANCER AT. I SAW THIS ON TV. ONE OF THE DOGS BREAD WAS A MINIATURE SCHNAUZER.
IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS YOU SHOULD ALWAYS ASK YOUR DOCTOR.

Answer 4

Excellent question. Conversely, how could victimless "sins" dedicated via a temporal body impact the everlasting destination of an incorruptible soul? I am definite it is a rather more simple minded reply than you're looking for, but I see the physique as in basic terms a auto for the soul. The soul cannot decide upon over some matters (health, durability, and so forth.), however or else it directs the body to achieve its possess ends. And i am a kind of fools who believes that there are things in existence on a separate aircraft that science can't show.

Answer 5

Eventually yes, but the first signs are things like a sore that doesn't go away, and changes in the characteristics of moles...however, there aren't very many symptoms...
