Question:
Do you think these could be symptoms of cancer?
Please read, i'm worried about my health and i need any insightful advice i can get. to start, I'm very young, only in my mid teens but i've been seeing a lot of changes in the way my body has been working latley. I know this sounds a lot like puberty but im positive that it's not because a lot of them aren't supposed to be happening and none of my friends have noticed them either. I've seen much more frequent bowel movements, at least 3 times a day for about 2 1/2 weeks and it happens really soon after i eat anything much larger than a small candy bar. Not just this but i havent been eating nearly as much because it irritates my digestive system even more. I am also CONSTANTLY exhausted. I literally slept more the 13 hours last saturday, woke up and 3 hours later i was exhausted and had to sleep. Im really active, i do weight lifting for football every day and play lacrosse 4-5 days a week as well, but these kind of things used to incredibly easy for me, id finish school (which is now a challenge all by itself), go to the weight room for an hour or so and go to lacrosse. Now both are becoming really challenging to make it through, much less perform to the level that i know i can. Now i thought that if i loosened my schedule it, would relive my fatigue, but it hasn't at all. I took a leave from lacrosse for a while after talking to my coach, but it hasn't helped at all. my weight lifitng total hasn't moved in nearly a month, and i normally jump 35 lbs up per month, now a few of my lifts and numbers are slowly going down. Incase you don't know that is a HUGE change for weight training, especially for someone of my size.
Ive also been sweating a lot in the night which ive heard can be an early warning sign, last night i slept without a blanket on and i was very sweaty. There is a history of cancer in my family but it has only been females except my grandpa who smoked and died from it. Is there anything else i can look for or advice you could give me on the situation?
This has been happening to me now for a little more that 3 weeks and im starting to get very concerned
Answers:
Don't jump to conclusions just yet. Have you considered the possibility that you might possibly be suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? Other than tiredness that is not relieved by sleeping, some of the sympotms of CFS are also muscle weakness and digestive problems, amongst a host of other issues. You need to go to your doctor for testing to find out what the issue could be.
I highly doubt it's cancer, but there is a link that I think anyone affected by cancer should see regarding alternative therapy, as the medical industry is pretty much controlled by pharmaceutical companies and they will only offer cancer treatments that make THEM money: http://naturalcancerremedies.com/OYC-vid…

My first thoughts wouldn't be cancer.
I would be thinking some sort of virus affecting your digestive system that is leaving you tired and run down.
