A member asked:
How high a fever or frequent must be your fever to warn you of cancer. and what type of cancer would that be? thnx.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Persistent fever: Frequent is not a sign, persistent can be. Only a few cancers (lymph related) are likely to have this ealy sign. It can be low-grade or higher, but it lasts day after day. Other illness is more likely, so see your Dr. Don't worry - that will not help at all. Just seek an exam and follow Tx advice. Best!
