What are some symptoms of you having cancer?!


Question: What are some symptoms of you having cancer?
I am just interested in what some symptoms are of you possibly having either skin or breast cancer. Thank you for your answers.

Losing weight is one, my mum was rather skinny so was my nanna (both had breast cancer) Stage 4

Breast cancer symptoms vary widely — from lumps to swelling to skin changes — and many breast cancers have no obvious symptoms at all. Symptoms that are similar to those of breast cancer may be the result of non-cancerous conditions like infection or a cyst.

Some Symptoms of Advanced (Metastatic) Breast Cancer
Stage 4, or metastatic breast cancer is the most advanced stage of this disease. Metastatic breast cancer is defined as having spread beyond the breast and underarm lymph nodes into other parts of the body.

* bone pain (bone metastases)
* shortness of breath (lung metastases)
* drop in appetite (liver metastases)
* unintentional weight loss (liver metastases)
* headaches, neurological pain or weakness (could be brain metastases)
(This is what my mother had, and it was very noticeable)


Breast Lumps

* These lumps can be benign or malignant. Benign lumps do not spread to other parts of the body. A malignant lump is made up of cancer cells. When it first develops, this malignant tumour is confined to the breast. Most lumps are not cancerous

Changes to look for:

* A lump, lumpiness or thickening in the breast or armpit – especially if it is in one breast only
* A change in the size or shape of your breast
* Skin changes such as dimpling or redness
* Nipple inversion or discharge
* A change to the nipple, like a rash, ulcer or itchiness
* An unusual or persistent pain

Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) – Aggressive and Unusual Symptoms
One type of breast cancer that does not appear in lumps is called inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). This aggressive cancer grows in sheets instead of lumps, and it invades nearby skin, resembling a rash. It will not respond to topical creams or antibiotics, and should be treated very promptly. Symptoms:

* a sudden increase in mature breast size (as much as a cup size in a few days)
* itching in the skin of the breast that is continuous and not relieved by pills or creams
* a change in the breast skin color, resulting in pink, red, or dark-colored areas
* breast is excessively warm to the touch, or harder or firmer than usual
* unusual pain, which occurs out of the regular cycle
* sometimes a change in skin texture, similar to the skin of an orange
* breast skin ulcers (later stage IBC)
