• Know your body, pay attention to any pain that intensifies, that does not get better with rest, pain relievers, or anti-inflammatory medication  and  lasts more than two weeks.
• Do not ignore symptoms that do not go away.
• Know that most cancers are picked up when people go to their doctor about new symptoms.
• Any sudden, unintentional weight loss of 10 lb (5 kg) or more needs medical attention.
• Any flu symptoms that do not go away in 2-3 weeks need to be investigated.
• Any unjustified fatigue and weakness that does not get better needs to be investigated.
