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.
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!
