Healthy News
from Your Parish Nurse

A few years ago I promised someone that I would continually remind people about the warning signs of cancer. Although he had a warning sign for almost a year, he didn’t recognize it until it was too late. One of his last wishes was to tell people that if they notice any of these signs, to go to the doctor.

 

Please be alert for these warning signs: unusual bleeding or discharge, a sore that does not heal, change in bowel or bladder habits, a lump in the breast or other part of the body, nagging cough, obvious change in moles, difficulty swallowing. If you notice any of these signs, please schedule an appointment with your health care provider. Remember that just because you have one of these signs, it does not automatically mean that you have cancer, but it does mean that you should see a health care provider.

Blessings,
Linda McCowen, RN
