What Cancer Does to Your Body

What is Cancer?

Cancer is uncontrolled cell growth that forms tumors or spreads. It invades organs, disrupts functions, and harms healthy tissue over time.

Immune System Under Attack

Cancer weakens your immune system, making you more vulnerable to infections. Treatments like chemotherapy may also suppress immune responses further.

Fatigue & Weakness

Persistent tiredness occurs because cancer steals energy, disrupts metabolism, causes inflammation, and may reduce oxygen due to anemia or blood loss.

Unexplained Weight Loss

Sudden weight loss happens as cancer increases metabolism, suppresses appetite, and breaks down muscle and fat for energy without obvious cause.

Unexplained Weight Loss

Pain & Discomfort

Cancer can press on nerves, organs, or bones causing pain. Inflammation and tumor growth often make pain chronic and harder to manage.

Digestive Disruption

Tumors in the digestive tract cause nausea, bloating, constipation, or bleeding. Cancer may also reduce appetite or impair nutrient absorption.

Skin, Hair, and Nail Changes

Cancer or treatments can cause dry skin, rashes, hair thinning, nail discoloration, or brittleness visible signs of stress and internal changes.

Mental & Emotional Strain

Cancer impacts mental health through anxiety, depression, and stress. Fatigue, physical changes, and fear of the unknown can intensify emotional burden.
