Do yo know that, researchers have highlighted, eight unexplained symptoms most closely linked to cancer. But beware, that there are more than 200 different types of cancer, which cause many different symptoms

Although this still represents a relatively low chance of anyone with the symptom having the disease, any suspicion of cancer can mean that the patient is sent for tests more quickly, in order to catch the disease as early as possible.

Eight signs of cancer

* Anaemia

* Blood in urine

* Coughing up blood

* Difficulty swallowing

* Breast lump or mass

* Post-menopausal bleeding

* Abnormal prostate test

* Rectal blood

So if you notice an unusual or persistent change in your body it's important to get it checked out. When cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, treatment is often more likely to be successful.

Wish you all, a happy and healthy life !

@ Anele, you're right. Our life style, dietary habits, and environmental factors, are responsible for cancer, in most cases. Otherwise, by and large, cancer is one of the most preventable disease.

Thanks a lot dear friend for your comment !

@ Bob, thanks a lot sir for your comment. I'm happy that you liked it. I didn't saved it as a draft but I previewed it a few times, before posting to check my mistakes.

Thanks a lot for all your support!

This is national Cancer Awareness Month in the US. We are wearing pink ribbons or other reminders to people to be sure to check themselves and to see the doctor.
Did you preview this a few times to get it to all line up so nicely? The layout is so well done. Maybe you used the save as a draft option as well so you had more time to get it all done. Now you need to tell everyone that it is ready to be seen. I can find no fault with it :)
