E. ANEMIA

Some cancers also cause anemia or low red blood cell count. When these occur at an abnormal level accompanied by an extreme degree of fatigue and feeling of weakness, it could be a sign of leukemia or lymphoma. Anemia is usually a common symptom of cancer, and there could be many reasons why patients experience anemia.

The bleeding could be because of cancer itself or due to the treatment. It can also be because of the loss of blood due to bleeding of the tumor or the cancer cells. Another reason for the bleeding may be because of ulcers as well. Anemia can also be because of the low iron levels in the blood.

Still, of course, a lot of these symptoms can be caused by a benign tumor, which has yet to be discovered. This is why we all have to pay attention to these signs and symptoms our body alarms us with, especially those that persist, are considered severe, or simply don’t go away when treated.

Some cancers may already be in their advanced stages before signs and symptoms start to show. That is why a regular check-up or trip to your doctor is still a good practice for those who can avail of it out of their insurance plan.
