fever is a biological response to infection, and an occult cancer could represent itself, I guess, as an infection in the early stages. interesting.

I actually had a mysterious fever once, the summer of 1994, age 21, I ran a fever of 102-104 on and off for a month, no other symptoms. I did manage to lose 20 pounds, and spent days at the hospital while they ran every test known to man on me. It was a teaching hospital, and I had interns and residents looking for everything. I was never admitted, but it was kind of freaky. It then developed into a nagging cough that I had for two months. really killed my Crew season that fall. Then it went away. the docs were befuddled.
