Cancer Research UK stated: “Some types of cancer can come back many years after they were first diagnosed.”
The charity continued: “It can be very difficult to live with the fact that your cancer may come back.
“For most people who are in this situation, each day lowers the risk of a recurrence.”
Lung cancer
When a tumour develops in one or both of the lungs, symptoms tend not to develop until the condition has progressed.

Stomach cancer
A tumour in the stomach can affect digestion, leading to heartburn, acid reflux, nausea, and indigestion.
The cancer could also lead to unexplained weight loss, a feeling of exhaustion, and a lump at the top of the stomach.
Anybody who is experiencing symptoms of cancer is highly advised to book an appointment with their doctor to discuss their concerns.
An early diagnosis increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
