13. Changes in Your Breasts
Most men simply ignore any lumps in their breasts because they think breast cancer is only something that affects women. Although it’s true that more women than men develop breast cancer, at least 1 percent of all breast cancer cases are men, which means they tend to get diagnosed much later, and at much more advanced stages than most female cases of breast cancer. If you find a lump in your breasts, do not hesitate to contact your doctor.
14. Nagging Cough
Most nagging coughs (for non-smokers) generally happen after a cold or flu infection and can even last as long as 4 weeks. However, if your cough has gone on longer than that, or if your cough has blood or you frequently feel short of breath, do not delay a visit to your doctor. If you smoke, it’s even more important that you see a doctor right away. A nagging cough, especially when combined with other symptoms or if you smoke, is the most common sign of lung cancer.

15. Stomach Pain and Depression
This is a strange combination, but a stomach ache, combined with feelings of depression, are a common sign of cancer of the pancreas. Of course you could simply have the blues and a stomach ache because your cooking skills stink but especially if cancer runs in your family; you should see a doctor and rule out this type of cancer.
Your doctor can do an assessment to evaluate your risk of developing cancer. This way you can make better health and lifestyle choices and keep your body as healthy and cancer free as humanly possible.
