We get stressed out only from the thought that anyone of our relatives could have this awful disease, cancer.
That is why, you should learn about the early signs of cancer, a cruel disease of our times.
Don’t ignore these symptoms, even if they seem kind of trivial to you. Better safe than sorry!
Increased fatigue
A recent report provided by the American Cancer Society has claimed that increased fatigue could be a sign of cancer, such as leukemia, colon, or stomach cancer.
Low fever that lasts for a long time
A light fever – associated with a body temperature between 38-38,5° Celsius, which lasts more than 3-4 days, can be a sign of infection. In addition, it can also be one of the early signs of cancer, such as leukemia, Hodgkin’s disease, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Swallowing problems
Injuries to the lips that do not heal in normal parameters of time, some throat pains that do not go away or that recur, persistent hoarseness, which does not disappear or persists, bleeding that is unusual or unexplained around the mouth area. According to the National Institute of Health, the signs above might be a series of causes for oral, throat, esophagus, and tongue cancer.
Unexplained sudden weight loss
Though it may seem to be a paradox, considering the problems with obesity which can be seen worldwide, a person who cannot explain sudden weight loss should begin asking questions. The American Cancer Society found that a sudden weight loss could be early signs of cancer, and namely stomach, pancreas, or lung cancer; moreover, these symptoms may be linked to other serious health disorders.
Pay attention to any insignificant changes in your body, and be healthy!

According to a report by Daily Post, speaker of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, Onofiok Luke, has described the All Progressives Congress, (APC) as a conglomerate of angry and evil politicians.
Luke said this when representatives of a socio-political group on the platform of Akwa Ibom Political Groups, (AKPG) led by its Chairman Dr. Andrew Uwanta paid him a courtesy visit.
His words, “I will be the last person to join the APC or any other political party. Their ideology is different from mine.
“The APC is only a conglomerate of angry politicians. Some of them were in the PDP.
“Today, they are the same people that are turning around to say that the PDP is evil.
“That means that they are evil too because some of them were in the PDP. PDP was our party yesterday; it is our party today and our party tomorrow”.
The speaker urged the group to remain committed in its resolution as genuine PDP members and ensure that Akwa Ibom State particularly the governor Udom Emmanuel was delivered to the PDP in 2019.
He however condemned the killing of inncocent Nigerians.
“In strong terms I condemn in totality the killings in Southern Kaduna. Security agencies must be alive to their responsibilities.
“We have only one indivisible country which is Nigeria. And the only thing that can ensure that indivisibility is true federalism”, he said.

A Lagos Island Customary Court on Thursday dissolved the marriage between Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike and his wife, Emma over an alleged incessant battery.
Emma, a teacher, had on July 13, 2015, approached the court to dissolve the 14-year-old marriage between her and the Nollywood star.
The court president, Mr Awos Awosola, said from the totality of the evidence before the court, it was obvious that the marriage was beyond redemption.
“Emeka, who has been begging to be reconciled with his wife, has not made any effort towards the reconciliation. The marriage is hereby dissolved with effect from March 2, in accordance with the Lagos State Customary Court Law, 2011; Order 3 Rule 7 as amended. Any party that is not satisfied with the judgment has the right to appeal to any court of higher jurisdiction within 30 days from today,’’ the court president ruled.
Awosola awarded the custody of their four children to the husband and ordered that the wife must have unhindered access to them.
He said that N300 paid as Emma’s bride price had been returned to Emeka and urged both parties to maintain peace. The mother of four had earlier told the court that her husband had been physically and verbally abusing her all through the duration of their marriage.
“My husband treated me like nobody and throughout this divorce tussle; he had denied me access to my children. He does not allow them to pick my call as he keeps changing their numbers.
The last time I heard my first son’s voice was when he was sick and about to undergo surgery. It was a friend who informed me that my son was in the hospital and I called Emeka asking him for the location of the hospital but he refused to disclose that,” his wife Emma said.

President Donald Trump lashed out at Democrats over their demands for US Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign, calling their actions a “total witch hunt”, AlJazeera reports.
Sessions on Thursday announced he would recuse himself from any probe into the presidential election campaign as the White House moved to forestall a snowballing controversy over its ties to Russia.
Following newly revealed meetings he held with Russia’s ambassador before the election, Sessions denied any impropriety or that he lied about those encounters in his Senate confirmation hearing.
The Republican US president declared his “total” confidence in Sessions – while adding he “wasn’t aware” of contacts between Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and Sessions, who was a senator actively supporting Trump’s campaign at the time.
He defended Sessions again in a statement calling Sessions an “honest man” and accusing Democrats of having “lost their grip on reality” and carrying out “a total witch hunt”.
Sessions “did not say anything wrong. He could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not intentional”, said the president.
Unswayed by Sessions’s account of events, top Democrats are maintaining their calls for him to step down immediately, accusing him of perjury.
They also called for an independent prosecutor to investigate contacts between the Trump campaign and Moscow, which US intelligence says interfered in the election to hurt Trump’s Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.
Adam Schiff, a Democratic ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, rejected Sessions’s claim that his contacts with Kislyak were unrelated to his work with the Trump campaign as “simply not credible”.
“In the midst of a Russian campaign aimed at undermining our election, and as a highly visible proxy for candidate Trump, Sessions would have had to be extraordinarily naive or gullible to believe that the ambassador was seeking him out in his office for a discussion on military matters, and Sessions is neither,” he said in a statement.
“I have come to the reluctant conclusion that the Attorney General should step down,” he said, echoing calls made earlier by the top Democrats in both chambers of the Republican-controlled Congress.
Focus on Russian diplomat
Trump has come under increasing pressure over Russia’s interference in the election and alleged contacts between his entourage and Moscow.
According to officials, US intelligence agencies and the Federal Bureau of Investigation continue to investigate just how and how much Moscow intruded into US politics, and whether that effort – which US intelligence chiefs say was directed by President Vladimir Putin – involved collusion with the Trump campaign.
Four congressional committees have opened probes into the issue, although Democrats fear that Republicans will seek to bury their investigations to protect Trump’s young administration.
Two weeks ago, Trump’s newly appointed national security advisor Michael Flynn was forced to resign amid controversy over his discussions with Kislyak in late December, when the Obama administration was hitting Moscow with retaliatory sanctions and expulsions for its election interference.
On Thursday, The New York Times reported that Flynn had also met the diplomat in Trump Tower in December, with Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner also in attendance.
While meetings between political campaigns and diplomats are generally common, on Thursday a Clinton spokesman said there were no meetings or calls between her team and any Russian official during the campaign.
Sessions met Russian envoy twice
Sessions’s own meetings with the envoy took place much earlier, in July and September, just as accusations of Russian interference in the election were mounting, according to The Washington Post.
However, Sessions told his
confirmation hearing in January he “did not have communications with the Russians” and did not know of any by other campaign staff.
Sessions on Thursday clarified his denial referred to contacts made on behalf of the campaign. He said he met Kislyak in his capacity as a senator, and discussed mainly global politics with him.
Nevertheless, after reviewing ethics rules for his office, he said: “I have decided to recuse myself from any existing or future investigations of any matters related in any way to the campaigns for president of the United States.”
Speaking to Fox News Wednesday evening, he reiterated that he did not discuss the campaign with Kislyak.
“When I campaigned for Trump, I was not involved with anything like that,” he said. “You can be sure.”
Independent probe
Despite the swirling controversy, few hard facts are publicly available on what US investigators know and suspect about the contacts and about Russia’s alleged operation to disrupt the election last year.
The New York Times reported two weeks ago, citing US intelligence sources, that three Trump campaign staff had communicated with Russian intelligence officers over the past year.
The White House labeled that report “false” and has accused Democrats, the media and the intelligence community of a political effort to undermine the Trump administration.
Trump’s White House has lobbied the FBI, reportedly the CIA and two Republicans who head committees leading investigations into Russia’s election meddling, to knock down media reports on the alleged links.
That added to Democrat’s worries that investigations could be tainted, and lawmakers were pressing for an independent counsel to be named to study the web of allegations about Trump and Russia free from political interference.
