Prolonged "minor ailments" could indicate canc3r, so beware of these 7 signs.

If you continuously experience headaches, loss of appetite, dry cough, and continuous weight loss... you need to see a doctor immediately as this could be a sign of cancer.
According to Aboluowang, a 48-year-old male patient from China was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer.
The doctor pointed out the first mistake: the patient's body had been sending abnormal warning signals for over three months, but he never paid attention to them.
The patient simply thought that he was suffering from the aftereffects of a cold. "The patient had a cold more than three months ago, and since then, he had a persistent dry cough, which he assumed was just a lingering symptom from the cold," the doctor shared.
The second mistake was that the patient had been smoking for a long time but never visited a doctor for a check-up. According to the information gathered, this man started smoking at 18 and had a history of smoking for 30 years.
Lung damage and smoking are major causes of lung cancer.
From this case, the treating doctor advises that lung cancer often gives out several warning signals when it appears, and the public needs to pay attention to the following symptoms:
Frequent headaches
Tumors can develop in our brains. Some tumors are primary, such as gliomas, meningiomas, or primary intracranial malignancies. Other tumors may be metastatic, spreading from other cancers, such as lung cancer, colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, or breast cancer, to the brain.
Whether primary or metastatic, tumors located in the head can cause headaches. Therefore, if you experience persistent or progressively worsening headaches, timely medical examination is necessary.
Persistent dry cough
The earliest symptom of lung cancer is actually not chest pain, coughing up blood, or shortness of breath, but a dry cough. Unfortunately, this symptom is often overlooked and misinterpreted as a residual effect of a cold, allergies, or bronchitis.
Persistent abdominal pain
The abdomen houses many vital organs, including the liver, stomach, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine, and large intestine.
Cancer in any of these organs can cause abdominal pain. The pain caused by cancer will worsen as the tumor grows. You may even need painkillers to endure it.
Unexplained weight loss
If you suddenly lose weight without intending to, it is a red flag for your health, as cancer is a common cause of unexplained weight loss.
Cancer consumes a significant amount of nutrients during its growth, which can lead to weight loss. This is why, in the late stages, patients will experience rapid frailty.
Fatigue
Cancer can cause general fatigue, and the reasons are complex. Some cancers can cause anemia due to blood loss or malnutrition, leading to fatigue.
Other cancers may cause loss of appetite and weight loss, resulting in fatigue. Moreover, cancer affects sleep, which also contributes to tiredness.
Frequent illnesses
Cancer can lead to an abnormal decline in immune function. When the immune system is weakened, the body’s defense mechanisms are compromised.
As a result, bacteria and viruses in the environment can infect the body through the respiratory, digestive, and urinary tracts, potentially causing recurrent infections.
Loss of appetite
When cancer attacks the body, it releases a large amount of toxins that suppress the appetite, causing a loss of interest in any kind of food.
Over time, cancer can metastasize, and whether it’s lung cancer, breast cancer, stomach cancer, or colorectal cancer, these malignant tumors can easily spread to the liver. The liver is the largest digestive organ in the body, and metastasis to the liver can also cause abnormal loss of appetite.
