If you have the following symptoms for a prolonged period especially if you are a cancer survivor :
1. Persistent (unexplained) pain which does not go away
2. A lingering cough
3. Continuing extreme tiredness which is not normal in any healthy person at any age
4. Rapid (unexplained) weight loss
A Possible Cancer Diagnosis

The comment “it’s your age ~ just exercise more” is not an acceptable diagnosis from your personal medical professional~ again especially if you are a cancer survivor …

In closing please note that this in no way reflects on any person(s) and in fact our current family doctor, specialist and surgeon (and their staffs) are “life savers” in our opinion. There is a concern that patients may go away thinking they are fine when in fact that may not be the case. Our medical professionals are extremely busy and often overworked. As stated often in CAP always seek professional medical help.
Take care.
