20 Cancer Symptoms Women Are Likely to Ignore

Don't join the ranks of patients who realize too late that cancer symptoms they'd ignored could have sounded the alarm earlier, when disease was easier to cure.

I complained of 9 of these symptoms to a wide variety of doctors (different types) for a number of years and still they did not catch my cancer until I broke a rib and it did not heal. I was already in stage 4 at that point, with cancer in my lungs, liver, kidney, spine, under my arm.

I think that a lot of women would go see a doctor if they have some of these symptoms, but it depends if your doctor actually listens to you, and sends you for the right tests.

I wonder about the 'why complain' woman. I wonder if her cancer is under control.

Thanks Aqua. It's useful information. I checked them all and don't have any of those symptoms. Thankfully.

Good for you, sweetie. I don't either, "as of this post" but now I know more things to be paying attention to. Early detection is the key to most cures.
