6. Hoarse voice
When you catch a cold and don’t feel well, you’re more likely to develop a hoarse voice. Of course, that annoying symptom might disappear once you feel better, but if your hoarseness persists, you should ask your doctor for a test because there are many unpleasant things cancer does to your body.
One type of cancer that attacks your larynx, which are the tissues in your voice box, can cause painful symptoms in your throat while also attacking your vocal cords. You might experience ear pain, throat pain, or even a lump in your throat or in your neck.
Moreover, cancer of the larynx can also travel to the trachea (windpipe), thyroid, or esophagus. If you experience persistent hoarseness in the voice, massive ear pain, a sore throat that doesn’t seem to go away for a couple of weeks, or huge problems swallowing, you shouldn’t waste time and pick up the phone and schedule an appointment with your doctor.

Do not listen to a doctor that tell you “It’s old age” and find out too late that you have an advance cancer.
