1. Where cancer spreads: Liver
While this is a place in the body where cancer spreads from any type of cancer, the most common way to acquire this secondary cancer is if you have digestive system cancer. It is more likely for people who have cancers of the digestive system to get liver cancer due to the fact that blood will have to go through the liver from the digestive system before it circulates back to the heart, making it easier for the cancer cells to travel and infect the liver.
The surprising thing about the fact that cancer can spread is that there is a chance that you may not end up with any particular symptoms that could tip you off. However, there are some side effects that you could experience that could tell you that there is something wrong:
- lack of appetite;
- feeling sick or generally unwell;
- pain located on the right side of your body, right under the rib cage;
- ascites;
- lack of energy;
- jaundice.
