8. Unexplained limp: A patient may experience a sudden limp without having sustained an injury. In this case, there may be bone cancer present in the affected leg.
9. Fever or night sweats: While these symptoms could be the result of many different health concerns, ongoing bouts of fever or recurring night sweats may be an indication of cancerous cells in the body.
10. Trouble breathing or swallowing: In cases where the cancer is affecting the bones of the neck, the throat can become constricted and cause a feeling of swollenness or tightness.

If you or someone you love complains of any of these symptoms, it is best to consult a physician as soon as possible. Early intervention typically offers the best outcome for the patient and gives the medical team the most time to work toward a complete recovery.

Be sure to list all complaints and ailments prior to your appointment and never downplay the amount of pain you have or underestimate the amount of time you’ve been suffering from the symptoms. Prepare for your appointment by making notes and take a list of questions with you to ask the doctor. Opening lines of communication with your physicians will benefit you or your loved one throughout the diagnosis and treatment process.
