About Silent Cancers

Silent cancers are so-called because their symptoms are difficult to identify, enabling the disease to develop silently, preventing early effective treatment.  Silent cancers include ovarian, bowel (colorectal), kidney, pancreatic, and prostate cancers.

If you or someone you love feels a combination of the following unusual and recurring symptoms…

·         Bloating, indigestion, vomiting or gas

·         Blood in the urine or stools or vaginal bleeding

·         Constipation, diarrhea, or frequent or pained urination

·         Fatigue, shortness of breath, fever or heavy sweating

·         Severe abdominal or rectal pain

·         Persistent ache in the side, lower back, hips or pelvis

·         Unexplained weight loss or loss of appetite

…it’s probably nothing, but it could be silent cancer symptoms.

Please ask your doctor for the appropriate tests!
