3. Ongoing Pain
Pain is your body’s way of saying something is wrong. Persistent pain in one specific area can be a sign of cancer, especially if it’s new or unusual.
Back pain → may indicate ovarian or colon cancer
Headaches → could suggest a brain tumor
Bone pain → may signal leukemia
4. Skin Changes
Your skin reflects your internal health. Watch for:

Sores that don’t heal
Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)
Dark patches or abnormal redness
👉 Bottom line: If your skin starts acting strangely, don’t ignore it.

Feel a new lump under your skin? Get it checked — especially if it appears in the:
Breasts
Testicles
Neck
Groin
Abdomen
While many lumps are harmless, some are not.
