Brilio.net - Sometimes some people often ignore small symptoms that occur in their bodies. Often, these bodily symptoms are considered normal, for example a cold. Some people think it's just an ordinary cold which will heal by itself. In fact, it could be that symptoms such as not feeling well, which are known as colds, are a sign of serious illness.
As experienced by a woman named Laura. Through her upload on the TikTok account @yeela89, Laura explained her condition. At first he thought the signs of feeling unwell were just an ordinary cold .
Laura also tried to have her body checked by a doctor. It was revealed that he had gone to the doctor several times with complaints of discomfort and lumps on his body. But just the same, there was no serious follow-up to Laura's illness.
"I thought it was just an ordinary cold. I went to several doctors and said it was fine even though at that time a lump had appeared," he said, reported by brilio.net on Thursday (20/6).
After changing doctors, Laura finally found out that the lump that appeared on her body was due to cancer . It was stated that she had an advanced stage of lymphoma cancer, namely stage 4. Laura had also undergone chemotherapy many times to kill the cancer cells in her body.
However, he warned not to panic. Because symptoms of feeling unwell and lumps in areas of the body are not always due to cancer. Procedures such as endoscopy or MRI need to be carried out to check.
"Just sharing my experience so that we don't take small things for granted, but we also don't need to worry too much because not all of them are signs of cancer. Because cancer can only be detected if the PA results come out. After all, the lumps could also be non-cancerous. They could be benign tumors or cysts, he added.
Laura also appealed to consult a doctor about her illness. At the same time, he reminded us to be alert to small symptoms felt by the body. So that you don't miss out on treating the disease.
"It's best to consult a doctor if you feel that something is wrong with your body. Because early detection is very important. Hopefully my experience can be a valuable lesson for others," said the woman who is familiarly called Laura.
His upload also sparked netizens' curiosity regarding the initial symptoms he felt. Laura revealed that apart from not feeling well, she also often experiences bleeding gums, canker sores, aches in her back and often experiences stomach aches.
"Before stage 4 cancer, the body's alarm bells are ignored, namely mouth ulcers, bleeding gums, weight loss, fatigue, coughing, itching, night sweats, aches in the back, and frequent stomach discomfort," he explained.
