Dr. Carlos Encarnacion answered

Specializes in Medical Oncology

MD time: You need to see a doc for a good evaluation. I'm not sure if you mean that you already were diagnosed with cancer. If so, talk to your oncologist. If not, talk to your family doc about your concerns. You may need to have some tests, like scans or even a biopsy. Don't panic, just make that appointment.
