While there are many types of cancers, breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men occur commonly.  Modern science is giving us many opportunities to fight this dangerous disease. But prevention is always better than cure.

1. Extreme levels of fatigue

While being tired is considered normal in our society, it’s also a part of common cancer symptoms too. Extreme levels of fatigue occur in cancer patients. This is because cancer cells use up the nutrients required by normal cells to function.

In addition, you are unable to do simple activities like going to work or playing with the kids. These things warrant investigation and shouldn’t be brushed off. Consequently, leukemia, colon cancers, and many stomach cancers also present with extreme fatigue.
