Should I see doctors for a cancer check?

Hi everyone,

I just really wanted to ask this question as I am concerned about how I have been feeling lately compared to my usual self; I am usually by rule quite active but this last 1-2 weeks I have been really tired throughout the day despite getting enough sleep and I am also experiencing a loss of appetite too which has ended up with some weight loss too.

Am I right to be worried about this or is it likely that it could just be instead something else? I’m very grateful in advance for any responses/advice.

Kind regards,

Lewis

  • Hi there Lewis and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear you are not feeling yourself and appreciate the worry this is causing you.

    Unfortunately no one here can say why you are feeling this way but if you continue to feel this way and you are concerned do speak with your doctor.

    There can be many reasons for symptoms but most of the time the reason is something far less serious than a cancer, so try not to worry. But as I say if you are worried and don't start feeling better soon do see your GP.

    Best wishes
