Fatigue and Constant Tiredness
Tiredness is a common complaint among children and teenagers. It is not unusual for teenagers to sleep until noon due to their changing sleep patterns. However, if your child experiences prolonged fatigue that does not improve with rest, it could be a potential indicator of Ewing’s sarcoma. Adolescents are often burdened with school, work, and sports activities, which leaves little time for leisure. Nevertheless, it is important to note that constant fatigue should not be considered normal for a teenager.
Paralysis: A Severe Complication of Cancer
When a cancerous tumor develops near the spinal cord, it poses the risk of causing paralysis. The presence of the tumor can disrupt the normal functioning of both the spinal bones and the nerves, leading to a loss of mobility. In addition to impairing movement, this debilitating condition can also manifest as a loss of bladder control and dysfunction in other organs. It is important to note that paralysis is an advanced symptom that usually emerges in the later stages of cancer.
