What are the symptoms that a person will experience with cancer and how long will it be until the symptoms appear?
I wish I could help you more with this question, but the only honest answer is that nobody can answer this question. Cancer is still a pretty mysterious thing and cancer effects people SO differently. My father had bladder cancer and didn't know it until it nicked a artery and he began peeing blood. I had cervical cancer and didn't even know anything was wrong with me, and others are painful symptoms. Each person is different, every cancer is different, so talk to your doctor and screening for many cancer is simple and a smart idea.
