Cancer is such a confussing thing as there are so many sorts. I have a charecter who is termilay ill with cancer but other then being very tired I dotn know what some of the symptoms might be. You see her grandaughter has to eventually get clued in at firsts she just thinks her naps are odd, that there is nothing to worry about.So if anyone could help me make my story realistic that would be of great help.
Thankyou

Depends on the kind of cancer. Some common outward symptoms can include jaundice (the yellowing of the skin), weight loss, tumors (in the case of skin cancer can be seen at a glance), anemia (symptoms of this include trouble breathing, heart troubles, and somtimes paleness), pain (though this doesn't usually show up until later stages), and enlargment of lymphnodes.

For a more specific listing you should decide on what type of cancer it is.

And if the character is getting chemo therapy, besides being tired, there's a big chance she'll be throwing up (vomiting), her hair'll fall out...
