🔑 LUNG CANCER
A cough that just won’t go away, or that gets worse over time, could be an early sign.
If you’re coughing up blood or feeling out of breath doing everyday things, take note.
Chest pain that’s worse when you breathe in deeply, laugh, or cough is also something to check out.
Early tests can help spot lung issues before they get worse

🔑 BREAST CANCER
Pay attention to any lumps in the breast or under the arm, especially if they feel hard or are growing.
Look for changes in the size or shape of your breast, or any fluid coming from the nipple that is not milk.
Skin changes, like dimpling (making it look like an orange peel) or redness, are also early signs. Checking yourself regularly matters here

🔑 COLON CANCER
The colon is the final part of the digestive system. Signs like changes in bathroom habits, like ongoing diarrhea, constipation, or feeling like you can’t empty your bowels completely, may matter.
Blood in your stool is another red flag, along with stomach pain that doesn’t go away. Sudden weight loss and feeling very tired without a clear reason could also mean it’s time for a checkup
