Cancers vary a lot, symptoms may include unexplained weight loss, a hardness or lump forming somewhere, digestive & bowel movement irregularities, shortness of breath or coughing and many others. Most cancers do not cause pain for quite a while. An increase in white blood cell count can often be seen as the body tries to fight back. If you're concerned, SEE A DOCTOR, describe your symptoms and undergo ant tests he feel appropriate. p.s. I had lymphoma with a large mass 10 years ago, was treated, and am still cancer free!

Often, sadly enough, there are no early symptoms til lung cancer is in its later stages. I went in for a routine check up.. had xrays, suspicious masses found.. ended up with multiple scans, biopsy and diagnosed with stage iv lung cancer.. never saw that coming!! So its important to get unknown pain checked out, listen to your body. Even at stage iv, I still don't have the symptoms listed yet was given only a few months to live at my diagnosis.. weird.. but it happens.. be careful and be safe. General symptoms of lung cancer The symptoms of lung cancer can be Having a cough most of the time A change in a cough you have had for a long time Being short of breath Coughing up phlegm (sputum) with signs of blood in it An ache or pain when breathing or coughing Loss of appetite Fatigue Losing weight Less common symptoms of lung cancer There are other symptoms of lung cancer that are less common. They are usually associated with more advanced lung cancer.
