Not Medical Advice: Cancer signs and symptoms will depend on where the cancer is, how big it is, and how much it affects the organs or tissues. Some cancer starts in places where it will not cause any signs or symptoms until it has grown quite large.
General signs and symptoms of cancer includes unexplained weight loss, fever, fatigue, pain and skin changes.
Other symptoms may change in bowel habits or bladder function, sores that do not heal, white patches inside the mouth or white spot on the tongue, unusual bleeding or discharge, thickening or lump in the breast or other parts of the body, indigestion or trouble swallowing, recent change in a wart or mole or any new skin change and nagging cough or hoarseness.

Bees are known for their exquisitely sensitive sense of smell.
