Cancer: Cancer can present with a variety of symptoms - usually related to the organ affected or originated from. General symptoms can be weight loss, overall feeling of being unwell or swollen lymph nodes. The way to combat your fears is to have routine well visits by your primary care doctor and to follow all guidelines for screening. For example, mammograms and colonoscopies. See your doctor.
