What are signs and symptoms cancer?
Signs are things that can be seen, heard or at least detected by others relatively easily. Such examples would include weight loss, fever or labored breathing. Symptoms, on the other hand, are much more felt than they are detectable, and are up to the patient to voice concern over. The question most people face when dealing with symptoms is differentiating between complaining about something that’s more or less normal and something that indicates illness. After all, a constant headache may just as easily be a sign of frustration with something external, instead of an internal illness.
