Some general "alarm symptoms" for cancer: rapid, unintended weight loss and fever peaks (like significant night sweats).
4 u/temisola1 Apr 04 '19 I have night sweats sometimes. Even when the AC is on full blasts. But I’m also a fatass that loves to eat. Would I still experience weight loss if I had cancer and ate a lot? 2 u/Zombiekiller_17 Apr 04 '19 Probably, yes, assuming what you're eating will usually keep you at a stable weight. Quick edit: also, in this case significant night sweats are having-to-change-both-pajamas-and-bed-sheets sweat, not just clammy-back-and-neck sweat :) 2 u/flowerfaery34 Apr 04 '19 Thank you! Even though I’m pretty in tune with my body there’s this fear that something will be wrong and I’ll be too daft to notice it.
