5 warning signs of cancer developing in the body

Our body and mind have the power to send signs whenever something is wrong with our body. Sometimes, we decide to accept these warnings, and other times, we simply ignore them.

Paying attention to these signs, that are often subtle, can lead to early detection of an illness and increase the chances of battling it successfully.

Of course, whenever we feel something isn’t right, we should always consult a doctor.

Below are some of the early signs that warn us cancer is present in our body.

Unexpected Weight Loss

While most of us love being skinny and lose some weight when we are not happy with our appearance, losing weight all of a sudden, without making any changes in our diet or lifestyle may indicate the presence of cancer. This is especially true if the weight loss is significant and in a short amount of time.

Possible forms of cancer associated with unexplained weight loss are stomach, pancreas, or liver cancer (affects digestion and metabolism), lung or esophageal cancer (which interferes with swallowing and appetite), and blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma (which affect metabolism and immune function).

Constant fatigue and weakness

Unlike fatigue that is a result of lack of sleep and tiredness, fatigue that may indicate some more serious conditions, including cancer, is persistent.

Certain forms of cancer that cause fatigue are leukemia and lymphoma, colon or stomach cancer (causing slow internal bleeding and leading to anemia), or liver cancer.

Skin Changes

Any changes on the skin should be taken seriously.

No matter if it is moles, lumps, or skin discoloration, make sure you consult with your doctor.

Potential skin changes to keep an eye on are: moles with uneven borders, or change in color and size (probable signs of melanoma), constant sores that do not heal (may imply skin cancer), yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice) (related to liver or pancreatic cancer), dark spots or excessive itching (may indicate cancer of internal organs)

Persistent pain

Chronic pain that won’t go away even after you take medications and the amount of rest needed.

If the pain worsens over time, consult a doctor because it may be a sign of a more serious condition such as bone cancer (pain in the bones or fractures), brain tumors (causing persistent headaches, nausea, and vision problems), ovarian or colorectal cancer (causing pelvic or abdominal pain), or lung cancer (chest pain).

Unusual lumps or swelling

Getting lumps and growths on the skin is not unusual or uncommon. However, of the lumps get bigger, become red and painful, last more than two weeks, are hard and don’t move, or appear on your breasts or te***cles, consult wit your GP.

Three symptoms during sleep that could signal cancer

The American Cancer Society states that the number of people diagnosed with cancer in 2025 will be 2 million.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world, just after heart disease.

Getting a timely diagnosis is crucial for successful treatment, and listening to the signs the body sends is of huge importance in possible prevention.

There are certain night time symptoms during sleep that may indicate the presence of cancer or another serious health issue.

Three essential indications to be aware of, especially if they persist, are night sweats, unexplained discomfort, and tightness in the chest.

Night Sweats

Possible causes of excessive night sweats could be hormonal changes, infections, or fever. However, these sweats can also be a sign of something more serious, such as some forms of cancer. Lymphoma, a hematologic cancer that affects lymphocytes, is also accompanied by excessive night sweats.

In case these night sweats persist, consult your doctor and learn the reason behind them.

The night should be the time to rest and gather energy for the day that follows. Sadly, some people experience pain and discomfort while sleeping and the reasons can be various. Among the rest, a persistent discomfort felt during the night may be a result of nerve pain. Also, if the discomfort is felt in the legs, it can show issues with the arteries, such as arteries blockage.

Also, some forms of cancer can cause nerve pressure, which interrupts your sleep.

Difficulty Breathing or Chest Tightness

Among the symptoms that occur while sleeping or during the night that may be related to some forms of cancer are chest tightness and difficulty breathing. While these can be a result of sleep apnea or heart issues, if persistent, it may also refer to lung cancer.

Whenever your body gives you signs that something isn’t right, consult with your doctor.

Harry and Meghan change both their children’s names

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their royal duties and settled in sunny California, leaving Britain behind, late Queen Elizabeth asked from them not to use the name Sussex Royal since they stopped being working royals.

At the time, their Instagram profile and their website went under the name Sussex Royals, and since the birth of their son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor in 2019, they started using the name “Archewell” for their website and production company as a nod to their first born.

However, following King Charles’ coronation, they made a decision to change both Archie and Lili’s names and decided to officially use the surname Sussex for both of them.

Prince Harry received the Sussex title on the day of his wedding to Meghan in May, 2018.

When Archie was born, he wasn’t given a royal title due to a convention which prevented titles from being granted beyond the monarch’s grandchildren, except for those born to the direct heir to the throne.

However, following the passing of Queen Elizabeth and King Charles taking the throne, both Archie and Lili were granted the titles of Prince and Princess, which their parents decided their children would use.

Recently, The Office star Mindy Kaling referred to the Duchess by her maiden name, Markle, and the Duchess was quick to correct her.

“You keep saying, Meghan Markle, you know, I’m Sussex now,” she said. “You have kids, and you go, ‘Now I share my name with my children’ … I didn’t know how meaningful it would be to me, but it just means so much to go ‘This is our family name, our little family name’.”

Now that the change of Archie and Lili’s names from Mountbatten-Windsor to Sussex happened, many aren’t happy.

“Instead of rebranding, I would like to see them actually accomplish something. It’s all spin and rather sad,” one person commented.

“For someone who wanted to get away from the royal family he seems to want a foot in both camps,” another added.

“This pair will do anything to be in the limelight, complete hypocrites. For a couple who wanted to be out of the media, they sure do a great job of staying in it,” a third chimed in.

Harry and Meghan also rebranded their website to Sussex.com.

They believe that the new name will “unify” their family.

Police respond after eight deaths in same area fuel serial killer fears

Within a few weeks, eight deaths have been reported in the same location, fueling serial killer fears.

On April 22, a woman was discovered unconscious on a Springfield bike route in the 1500 block of Hall of Fame Avenue.

At the time the police and the medics arrived at the scene, she was unresponsive.

“The SPD Homicide Unit under the direction Captain Trent Duda is conducting an unattended death investigation in conjunction with the @HampdenDA Murder Unit, pending an autopsy by the Medical Examiner,” Ryan Walsh, a spokesman for the Springfield Police Department said in a statement.

Between March and April, eight individuals, mostly women, died in the area between Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

Human remains have been found in places including New Haven, Norwalk, Groton and Killingly, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

Walsh said that authorities didn’t find any link between the eight deaths that triggered fears of a serial killer, referring to the rumors “just that.”

Connecticut State Police recently issued a statement stating that “there is no information at this time suggesting any connection to similar remains discoveries, and there is also no known threat to the public at this time.”

The rumors about a potential serial killer in the area were fueled by a Facebook group “New England Serial Killer,” which was later renamed due to the social media site’s policy.

Peter Valentin, chair of the University of New Haven’s Forensic Science Department spoke of the deaths in the area, stating that the cause of death of the woman discovered on a Springfield bike route has not yet been determined.

“I am curious about what was recovered around the body. There might have been paraphernalia suggestive of activity that is deemphasizing homicide (perhaps incorrectly) to the investigators because that article is quite tepid,” he told Fox Digital.

“It is filled with very cautious language (surely taken right from police press releases), which might be intentional to not feed into what is now turning into intense scrutiny over every suspicious death in New England.”

Looking back at Pope Francis’ ‘awkward’ meeting with Melania Trump

The Catholic world is mourning the loss of the humble pope whose liberal views challenged tradition.

Pope Francis, the first pope of Latin America, died hours after his final public appearance on Easter Sunday, aged 88.

World leaders touched Rome’s spoil to attend his funeral, among them the President of the US, Donald trump, and his wife, Melania Trump.

During their first term at the White House, the Trumps met Pope Francis, and according to many, the meeting was a bit “awkward” to say the least.

Even before the visit took place, Trump had shared his opinion on the pope on several occasions. Namely, a day after he was selected a pope, Francis returned to the front desk of his hotel in Rome to personally settle his bill, which many agreed was just another sign of his humbleness and modesty.

However, Trump wasn’t among them. In fact, he criticized Pope Francis’ action, writing, “I don’t like seeing the Pope standing at the checkout counter (front desk) of a hotel in order to pay his bill. It’s not Pope-like!”

When Trump decided to build the Mexico wall, the pope took a stand and said, “A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not the gospel.”

Trump commented on the pope’s statement and dubbed it “disgraceful.”

Despite this, Donald Trump and Melania visited the Vatican in 2017 and met Pope Francis.

Melania Trump, who is of Slovenian descent and whose mother tongue is Slovenian, told MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski during her husband’s first presidential campaign that she spoke several languages. While we are all aware she’s fluent in English, Melania claimed she also spoke Italian, French, and German, besides English and Slovenian.

However, no one has ever heard her speak any Italian, German, or French. What’s most, during occasions when she has meetings with people from the respective countries, she always has translators by her side.

When she met with the pope, he asked her in Italian if she fed her husband a special Slovenian cake called potica. Melania didn’t understand right away and turned to her translator who explained the question. She then said, “Potica, yes.”

Mary Jordan, author and Washington Post reporter, revealed in the 2020 unauthorized biography about Melania, The Art of Her Deal, that the pope was told about Melania’s knowledge of Italian before the meeting.

When he extended his hand to her, Melania said, “Thank you. Nice to meet you,” in English. Pope Francis, however, answered in Italian.

“She looked at him and said nothing,” Jordan wrote in The Art of Her Deal.

However, it was obvious Melania was familiar with some of the Italian words Pope Francis uttered, despite answering in English. Asked by the pope where they were off to next, the First Lady replied, “I’m going to visit a hospital, for bambinos. Thank you so much.”

The question is whether Melania can truly speak Italian or not. If not, then why would she say she could. Maybe to polish her image as a First Lady.

Emotional moment as nun breaks protocol beside Pope Francis’ casket

Wikipedia

Sister Genevieve Jeanningros, French-Argentine nun, was allowed to break protocol while paying tribute to Pope Francis due to the close bond she had with the late pontiff.

Her act of praying and crying for the late pope at a place near the casket traditionally reserved for cardinals, bishops and priests represented an emotional moment not only for her but for everyone who witnessed it.

Sister Jeanningros, 81, has known Pope Francis from the time he was Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Archbishop of Buenos Aires.

The footage of her prayer, in which she’s seen wiping her tears away with a tissue, has gone viral.

In July, the Pope had personally visited Sister Jeanningros in Ostia, Rome, to acknowledge her longstanding humanitarian work.

The nun has spent 56 years of her life assisting the disadvantaged, especially transgender women from the area of Ostia.

Sister Jeanningros is part of the Little Sisters of Jesus order.

Even when Bergoglio took over as head of the Catholic Church, their friendship remained strong because of their mutual respect and similar ideals.

She would see the pope every Wednesday, occasionally bringing people from the streets to meet him. Pope Francis always welcomed them and spent time with them, inviting them to lunch and offering financial support.

“She approached her friend just like she did every other Wednesday,” one user reflected. “This encounter, however, proved to be different. She arrived to say goodbye, hoping to see him again in eternal life.”

Sister Jeanningros spoke of the emotional moment she prayed for her late friend, saying, “Many people told me: when you go to see the Pope, take us with you. I cried for them too.”

Laura Esquibel, a trans woman from Portugal who had met Pope Francis through sister Jeanningros, said, “I was the first trans woman to shake his hand. I’ve seen him seven times, we had lunch together. I liked him a lot.”

Over 250,000 mourners paid their respects to Pope Francis over a three-day lying-in-state.

Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre dies aged 41

Virginia Giuffre, who made public accusations against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, stating she had been trafficked and groomed and “forced to have s**” with Prince Andrew at Epstein’s New York home, died of suicide aged 41.

The news of her passing was shared by her heartbroken family.

“It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia,” they said.

“She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of s**ual abuse and s** trafficking.”

“Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against s**ual abuse and s** trafficking. She was the light that lifted so many survivors.

“In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight.”

At the time the police arrived to her home in the Neergabby area, Giuffre was unresponsive.

“Police and St John Western Australia attended and provided emergency first aid. Sadly, the 41-year-old woman was declared deceased at the scene,” a police spokesperson said. “The death is being investigated by Major Crime detectives; early indication is the death is not suspicious.”

At the time she made the accusations against Prince Andrew, the royal denied the claims. However, he and Giuffre reached a financial settlement out of court in 2022, with Andrew denying any wrongdoing.

Epstein was convicted on s** trafficking charges and took his own life in the prison while awaiting trial. His girlfriend, Maxwell, was also found guilty on five counts of s** trafficking and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Recently, Virginia Giuffre posted on the social media that she had been involved in a car crash and that she only had days to live due to kidney failure.

Giuffre was a mother of three.

The reason King Charles is forbidden from attending the Pope’s funeral

The news of the passing of Pope Francis sent waves of grief and sorrow through the Christian world.

The pontiff personally requested burial in the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore instead of the Vatican. Before his funeral, his body will lie in state for three days at St Peter’s Basilica where hundreds of thousands of believers and world leaders will pai their tributes.

Among the world leaders expected to attend Pope Francis’ funeral are the presidents of most countries, President Macron of France to Argentina’s firebrand leader Javier Milei and Donald Trump and his wife.

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer confirmed the attendance, but King Charles will not attend the pope’s funeral for a very strange reason – he’s simply not allowed to go.

Katie Nicholl, a royal expert, explained that “King Charles, the last head of state to have an audience with Pope Francis, will not travel to the Vatican, in accordance with protocol and precedence which dictates that the Sovereign does not attend funerals.”

The king’s son, Prince William will instead attend the funeral on his father’s behalf, just like then-Prince Charles attended the funeral of Pope John Paul II on behalf of his mother, Queen Elizabeth III.

What is rather unusual in this situation is that King Charles and Pope Francis met just days before the pope’s passing. In fact, the two have been close friends.

King Charles praised Pope Francis publicly.

“His Holiness will be remembered for his compassion, his concern for the unity of the Church and for his tireless commitment to the common causes of all people of faith, and to those of goodwill who work for the benefit of others,” King Charles said and continued: “His belief that care for Creation is an existential expression of faith in God resounded with so many across the world. Through his work and care for both people and planet, he profoundly touched the lives of so many.”

William attending the pope’s funeral will mark his first time officially attending a major international funeral on behalf of King Charles.

He did travel to Kuwait in late 2023 to offer condolences following the death of Emir Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Sabah but didn’t attend the funeral.
