9. Excessive bruising 

Having a bruise on your hip or on the shin because you bumped into something is not that big of a deal. It might hurt for a couple of days and it will also look terrible, but you’ll be completely fine after a while.

However, if you notice that you suddenly have plenty of bruises in unusual places and you know that you didn’t bump into anything, you should schedule a visit to see your doctor because they might indicate different blood cancers.

In addition to that, bruising and bleeding more quickly than normal might also represent a side effect of cancer treatments. There are a lot of patients that experienced something like this due to a low platelet count (platelets are really important for blood clotting), a health condition which is also known as thrombocytopenia.

  1. Three years ago I was diagnosed with stomach cancer, until the moment I could no longer swallow anything without it coming right back up there were no symptoms or signs that I had cancer. I guess my point is that cancer can be pretty sneaky if it wants to be. I underwent chemo and radiation, have been in remission for two years.

  2. I was 24. I was required to take a pap smear to get birth control pills. Once it came up class 3. They advised me to see a Dr. He too did a test and advised me to take a dnc and conization if it came up Cancer. When I went in the hospital it came back positive for Cancer. Afterwards he suggested pap smears for 10 years. He also advised me to have another child before I couldn’t have one. I got pregnant after 5 years my pap smears have been clear. I caught early, which didn’t lead to a hysterectomy

  3. Cancer is hard to find and sneaks up on a person. I have lung cancer, stage 1 found early and had radiation. I am not a smoker, not around smoking, and luckily it was found by chance. I also had breast cancer 30 years ago which was also found early. I had extensive surgery for that and so far, so good.
