All about Cancer

If you go for regular check up, the possibility of catching the symptoms early are good. If your family has a high cancer incidence rate, then the gap between check ups would have to be tighter than usual. A cancer marker test would give you an idea if you are totally clueless of your risk.

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.
Different cancer has different symptoms. It's good to learn to notice or understand some of them. I also advocate going for the standard screening once you hit 40 yo.
For ladies, most common form of cancers - breast, colon, endometrial, lung, cervical, skin, and ovarian cancers.
For men, most common form of cancers - prostate, lung, colorectal, bladder and melanoma skin cancers. -

There are some teenagers who claims they were left paralysed by this HPV vaccine. You can google it. My niece had the vaccination and she is alright. Other than GBS, they don't know why some people get paralysed by this vaccine while others don't. -
