Common Questions and Answers about Throat cancer young people

throat

Avatar m tn My eyes also feel a little strained sometimes, everyone says these symptoms come from anxiety (minus the whole lymph node and sore throat thing), but im so fearful of having lymphoma, lukemia, thyroid cancer, or any form of cancer!! I fear that all these symptoms are really not anxiety, and that im dying or something, I just want reassurance that this will all end and i'll get my life back, but that feels so..afar.. I thank you reader that you've gotten this far.
Avatar f tn Hi. No. From your description, it doesn't seem to me like throat cancer. Your doctor is probably correct in diagnosing it as an infection, although it may be viral instead of bacterial, which may be the reason why it does not seem to be responding to the antibiotics. The other reason why the infection has gotten prolonged instead of resolving is the fact that you have continued smoking intermittently. Cigarette smoke impairs the immune system, so it would be best for you to quit.

Avatar f tn According to him less than 5% of people with high strain develop throat cancer. I can rest a little better now. Thanks again.
Avatar f tn I am now having difficulty swallowing or at least feel like I have a lump in my throat - the constant clearing of throat, cough. I am now terrified that I have Barretts or cancer. Plan on making an appointment next with with a GI - didn't like the one I went to before.
Avatar f tn Sorry to scare you, but, I think it's more serious than you think! The Oral Sex Cancer Connection Doctors Say There Is a Link Between Oral Sex and Throat Cancer By CATHY BECKER Oct. 15, 2008 122 comments FONT SIZE EMAIL PRINT SHARE RSS Teresa Dillon was surprised to learn four years ago that what she deemed as an average sore throat actually was stage 2 cancer on her tonsil. Human papillomavirus (HPV) has now been linked to oral cancer.
Avatar n tn ) however i failed to mention there is a history on my dads side of the family of cancer. I was wondering if you could offer any opinion on the matter, whether genetics play much of a role and whether it is possible of someone my age/gender to get breast cancer - also taking into account that cancers of this type are painless(?) and often show other symptoms (discharge etc).
Avatar n tn Your concerns are valid, even some people who do not smoke get lung cancer. The impact of a family member having one, may not really increase your risk for cancer (unless there are also a number of different other cancers in the family). Stay positive.
Avatar m tn ( im worried sick to be honest and dont know what to do
Avatar m tn throat cancer would show much later in years, u r to young for that, u say u get chronic sore throats? how often do u get them? Sounds more like tonsillitis....
Avatar n tn I would say not to worry about oral hpv, the main reason being the high-risk strains those live on genital areas do not like the oral enviornment and they do not survive well in there... Further, the throat cancer due to hpv is extremely low to rare and hpv is not the major cause of throat cancer but it can be a causitive factor... the tobacco use is the major cause of throat cancer...
1415711 tn?1286281354 It started when I found out about Michael Crichton dying of throat cancer (old news, I know). I started to get some throat soreness soon after that lasted for about 2 weeks. I made the mistake of googling "persistent sore throat" and of course self diagnosed myself with throat cancer (I smoked for about ten years when I was younger and also chewed tobacco for some years). I went to see my GP who assured me I was having some serious post nasal drip but was otherwise healty.
Avatar m tn This week I was given the bad news that I had Esophageal Cancer, squamous cell carcinoma. I am 54 year old male that was a pack a day smoker for almost 40 years. It started a couple of months ago. I couldn't swallow anything, I would try and dislodge food that was stuck down my throat with water. But this would work and sometimes not. It's more of a discomfort than pain. I got myself to the emergency at the Civic Hospital in Ottawa.
Avatar m tn On sunday after I ate dinner I could feel food caught in my throat after I was done. In a short time I was able to swallow it and thought I was ok. On Monday after supper I had the same feeling this time lasting 2 hours, ending when I coughed up a bit of food so this morning I made an internal medicine apointment for Friday . Later I ate breakfast and could feel the food stuck in my throat. I drank plenty of water trying to wash it down and tried to cough it up.
Avatar m tn Maybe I'm in the wrong forum to be asking his, but for the past 3 weeks or so, I've had this annoying tickle / irritation in my throat to the point of where it feels like I might have to cough, but I don't actually have to cough. I'm 30 years old, no history of asthma or allergies (other than dust / mold) and was a very light smoker for a few years. I have had post nasal drip for a long time and I know what that felt like.
Avatar n tn I am a 20 year old male and for about two months I have been having these strange pains in my chest, it is pretty mild but happens several times a day. I was smoking for only about 4 months and stopped as soon as I began getting these pains. On a 1-10 scale, the pain is a 4, almost feels like a deep cramp you would get from exercise. They happen in about 3 places in my chest, the upper part of my sternum, and the lower and mid sections of my right ribs.
Avatar m tn I also am having problems finding info on polyps found in young adults. I am 31 and 2 years ago was having problems with some blood in my stool, ignored it for a couple of months then went and had a sigmoidoscopy done. They found 2 small polyps (benign) which is good. But I am not sure when to go back to get tested again.
Avatar m tn i saw u all r helping so much to people i just want to ask HVP in throat i mean throat cancer by HPV by only oral sex or can also by vaginal sex?. becuse i had sex but i never did oral to any female and i m felling like somthing stuck in my neck like tonsil problem or what? can this be HPV throat cancer? or this cause only by oral sex? please help thank you so much.
Avatar n tn I came across in a magizine at work about this also being linked to throat cancer and have been pretty worried ever since. I would think if I had HPV 16 my husband would have too, and I have been performing oral sex on him for years 7/8 years hundrends of times. I feel like my case is a little different than others about this topic bc I had abnormal cells "down there" so wouldnt there be a good chance i have them in my throat as well being exposed to it many times?
Avatar n tn Often people mistakenly call the cancer in the thyroid throat cancer as the thyroid sits in the throat area. You would be best to post your question in the cancer forum.
Avatar n tn I remember a few years ago a one of those crazy comedian type people made a song about touching your balls after he found out he had testicular cancer. A 15 year old decided to do so, and found out he had testicular cancer too. The older you are, the higher risk usually is for many cancers, but that doesn't mean that the young are excluded.
Avatar m tn -And oral HPV rarely progresses to cancer; throat cancer due to HPV remains a rare problem, despite lots of media attention to it in recent years. -First, oral warts are rare, even in people who regularly perform oral sex on partners with genital warts. It is very unlikely you will ever have a serious complication of oral HPV or that you will be a risk to future sex partners.
Avatar n tn my mother thinks she has throat cancer...i think barretts....since she was little she would always have her stomach acid flow through her throat.....( idon't know if that makes sense, like when she is laying down it flows back into her throat) and so over the years, her throat has suffered from the acid...she also feels pain in her throat...her throat burns everytime she talks and swallows (occasionally). her voice has became rough/scratchy. she also feels a lump in her throat. help me....
