It is of course every parent’s nightmare for their child to be stricken with a terrible illness. However, by having even the most basic knowledge of the symptoms of cancer you could literally save their life! The symptoms of cancer in children depend on the location of the tumour, or indeed the nature of the illness. If you notice a change in your child’s body, it is important that you contact your doctor as quickly as possible. Please be aware that the following list contains symptoms that can be indicative of many other medical conditions that are not related to cancer or terminal illness, and indeed some of them may be absolutely harmless and just symptomatic of something as easily explained as a virus or bug. The most important thing however is that you speak to your GP if you are concerned, particularly if the child is too young to answer any questions about how they are feeling. • Vomiting • Weight loss • Changes in eyesight • Feeling generally unwell for no reason • Limping • A lump or swelling • Looking pale • Feeling tired a lot • Pain • Night sweats or temperatures • Unexplained bruising • Headaches
