      There are the main symptoms of cancers, but they can also be caused by less serious diseases too.

      – A lump somewhere on your body.
      – Changes in a mole on your skin.
      – A cough that never goes away.
      – A change in bowel habits
      – Difficulty swallowing or persistent indigestion.
      – Abnormal bleeding (ladies)
      – Difficulty urinating
      – Unexplained weight loss
      – Unexplained pain
      – Feeling tired all of the time.

      It’s really important to know your body. Know what’s normal for you and if anything changes, get checked out.
