2. Ear pain
You experience ear pain when there’s an active infection, but one of the things cancer does to your body is giving you a constant earache. You might not see any signs of infection, and the weird thing is that there might not be a problem with your ear at all.
Some doctors say that experiencing this kind of pain for multiple days or even weeks might actually be a sign of referred otalgia. That means some sort of pain goes to your ear from nerves that are located in your neck and head. There are many health issues that could make the pain radiate, and oral cancer is one of them.
If you’re an oral cancer victim and the tumor is still in its early stages, you might experience slight symptoms, and you might not know what they mean, but experts said that sometimes people who experience ear pain without having any other symptoms for weeks or months turn out to have oral cancer.
On the other hand, it could also be a sign of later-stage mouth cancer, and the symptoms could interfere with the other nerves in your system. The things cancer does to your body are never good, so take care of yourself!

Do not listen to a doctor that tell you “It’s old age” and find out too late that you have an advance cancer.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I haven’t been given any tests or an answer to help get rid of it. I have excessive sweating 9-10 times a day. I am not hot though. It’s trying and very exhausting.
Very informative. It really helped to examine yourself carefully and in the light of above symptoms, if someone observes any type of abnormality, just plan a visit to consult your doctor IMMEDIATELY.
Thanks for sharing this useful info
I went to doctors for a year and a half. They all told me different things but never said I have cancer. By the last time I went to urgent care they did a cat scan and discovered I had 5 centimeter lesions on my brain. Immediately admitted me and did brain surgery to remove lesions in the frontal left lobe of my brain. They couldn’t get to the lesions on the back of my brain so I had full brain radiation treatments. That got all lesions removed on the brain. The lesions removed from surgery were biopsies as adenocarciboma. They came from lung cancer that bo medical institution diagnosed.
This was 7 years ago. I have terrible neuropathy bone feet and hands. I still go every 3 weeks for infusions. My eyes, teeth and brain are destroyed. Wheelchair bound from treatment not from the cancer. I can walk about 50 feet before I need to sit. Breathless at times. Nauseous diarrhea constpation severe pain in my head that requires prescription medicine to ease it. Wheelchair bound when I do something over 50 ft. Walking.
To be honest I was a well respected director of operations over 3 billion dollars in revenue every year. Very intelligent model. Now I’m none of those things and will never be again.
Please Don’t Smoke. That is the cause of all of this
I am a survivor of Stage lV Oral-pharyngeal cancer. It was no “picnic”, to be sure! Pay attention to this article! I waited a long time before finally seeking treatment. It almost cost me my life. Today, ten years later, I’m cancer free. But that is no reason to wait and see! Get checked! Cancer CAN be cured, if you discover it early!
