But cancer-related fatigue is different.<\/p>\n It may feel:<\/p>\n Deep and overwhelming<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Unrelieved by sleep<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Progressively worsening<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Leukemia, colon cancer, and stomach cancer can cause chronic fatigue due to internal bleeding or immune system activation.<\/p>\n Ongoing changes such as:<\/p>\n Diarrhea lasting weeks<\/p>\n Constipation that doesn\u2019t resolve<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Narrow or pencil-thin stools<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Blood in stool<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n may indicate colon or rectal\u00a0\u00a0cancer<\/span>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Occasional digestive changes are common. But persistent patterns lasting more than two weeks require evaluation.<\/p>\n A cough that lasts more than three weeks \u2014 especially if accompanied by:<\/p>\n Blood<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Chest pain<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Shortness of breath<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/p>\n may be associated with lung\u00a0\u00a0cancer<\/span>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hoarseness lasting several weeks could indicate throat or laryngeal cancer.<\/p>\n \u00a0Smoking<\/span>\u00a0increases risk, but non-smokers can also develop lung cancer.<\/p>\n Unexplained bleeding is always worth medical attention.<\/p>\n Examples include:<\/p>\n Blood in urine (possible bladder or kidney cancer)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Blood in stool (colon cancer)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Vaginal bleeding after menopause (uterine cancer)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Persistent nipple discharge (breast cancer)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n While infections and benign conditions can cause bleeding, unexplained or recurring episodes need evaluation.<\/p>\n One of the most recognized warning signs is a new lump.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Common areas include:<\/p>\n Breast<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Testicles<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Neck<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Armpits<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Groin<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Not all lumps are cancerous.
