        Ya lor. That's the scariest part. The 腰痛 was actually triggered by the stomach cancer pressing on some nerves, or something like that.

        When my mum told me her leg was painful, this time has worsen from her waist down to knee cap and was on MC for 1 week, I was worried that it could be bone cancer or something serious.

          I do actually know of 2 young people who had bone cancer in the leg and a mother who had stomach cancer. All in remission now. Cancer has other symptoms, it won’t be just a pain. Look for general and unusual fatigue, inexplicable bloating, bruises that don’t go away etc.

            I oso heard that there r other symptoms of cancer, such as loss of appetite & weight. My friend's father suffered fr. nose cancer showed no symptoms except loss of weight. Went to see few doctors but could not get the diagnosis right. Took quite a number of visits to hospital to find out the real cause, by then it was too late to treat

            Jialak, I always do not hv appetite, eating for the sake of eating. Must go full body check up.

                You must know your body very well.


                One friend felt giddy and he actually asked to go through a series of tests and found out he had cancer stage 1. He underwent treatment and his cancer is now in remission for the 9th year.

                There are also weight loss cases initially (say, commented by friends) but very often, these comments were taken as compliments 😆 without any follow up.

                Just curious. When one's weight loss is noticeable, at what stage would the cancer be?

                  How much weigh loss is considered to trigger an alarm?

                  For fatigue, after a day of work, we sure feel tired
                  The initial symptoms are very vague and that is the problem

                      Yes, i have heard of cases where one very conscious of health, still died due to cancer

                        I reckon it's because fewer are dying from TB, flu, cholera, typhoid, polio...
