If you are losing weight for no known reason, please speak to your doctor. <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Blood appearing in any bodily secretion or product&#039;&#039;&#039; including urine, vomit, semen, faeces and sputum. <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;An abnormal mass/lump/swelling&#039;&#039;&#039; may be felt in a bodily organ such as the breasts of testes. Abnormal masses may also make bodily functions such as swallowing more difficult. <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Persistent fever:&#039;&#039;&#039; this is a fairly non-specific symptom. <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Persistent cough.&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Persistent diarrhoea/constipation.&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;A large/irregularly-shaped/multi-coloured mole.&#039;&#039;&#039; <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Unexplained pain.&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Heavy night sweats.&#039;&#039;&#039; <br /> <br /> It is important to know, too, that these symptoms may be associated with other non-cancerous disease. <br /> However, if you noticed any of them, you should speak to your doctor about it as soon as practically possible.<br /> <br /> If any aspect of your health changes for an un-expectedly long amount of time (a few weeks or longer), always speak to your doctor.</div> SimonJolly
