WARNING SIGNS OF CANCER THAT PEOPLE  IGNORE:

Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of the body (abnormal cells) divide uncontrollably with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Cancer begins in your cells, which are building blocks of your body. Not all tumors are cancerous; benign tumors do not spread to other parts of the body. Cancer starts when the gene changes make one cell or a few cells begin to grow and multiply too much. This may cause a growth called tumor. Cancer occurs in individual’s who have other conditions. Cancer is a “great imitator”. As a result it’s common for people diagnosed with cancer to have been treated for other diseases, which were hypothesized to be causing their symptoms. There are different types of cancer.
