Your cancer your life – symptoms of the primary growth (local symptoms) YOUR CANCER YOUR LIFE – SYMPTOMS OF THE PRIMARY GROWTH (LOCAL SYMPTOMS)
First of all, what about the primary growth? Most often this is just a firm painless lump to start with. As it enlarges it may press on, or grow through, nearby structures. I'll go through some of the possible early warning signs of cancer and we'll see what causes them. Firstly, there is any unexplained lump or thickening that doesn't go away or is getting bigger. These lumps are usually painless. Next, any sore that won't heal. A cancer near the skin, or lining of the mouth, throat, bowel, bronchial tubes, bladder, womb, etc can break through these surfaces, at first just forming a raw area. If this is on the outside it looks like a sore that won't heal. If it is inside somewhere the first sign could be abnormal bleeding from the stomach, bowels or vagina, blood in the urine Ploughing blood. Remember that blood coming from the stomach or upper bowel will come out as a very black motion, not red blood.
As the cancer enlarges it also puts pressure on, and may partly or completely block, nearby structures. If these are the bowel or bladder, a change in bowel or bladder habit will result. This can take the form of going either more or less often, change in consistency of the motion, an unusual amount of wind, looseness of the bowel, a feeling of needing to hurry to get to the toilet and sometimes pain on opening the bowels or passing urine.
