Throat Cancer

[ILiveUnderYoBed]

I'm 15. I get sore ears sometimes. I coughed blood once or twice and I used to smoke. I have a lump node that's swollen and painless. I got it checked before and its all good. What's going on?

[lavabone]

I'm only 15. No I don't smoke. But my throat feels swollen. I can barely swallow, i got neck pains and a headache. Can barely talk or move my neck. I'm not sure what this is, but it could be throat cancer. No coughing blood yet though.

[AustinLovely1]

[LostJedi26]

I understand asking questions, but asking what you should do if you're that concerned? It's simple. When in doubt, seek medical attention. If not ensured find someone who will see you on sliding scale or case-by-case. I know how scary medical unknowns can be and are, but no one on here can truly give advice--only someone who meets you and examines you can do that.

warbeck23 your a fucking idiot,i bet you wouldnt be joking if you had cancer you fucking asshole.

[WeHateTheHuns]

[SkittleSIsBack]

[ItsMeCrazyD]

can sugar fizzy drinks give you throat cancer, what can give you throat cancer?

[EnterTheTerrible]

Glad I quit smoking pot/cigs and stopped eating junk food and started excercising, lol. My luck - i'll probably still get throat cancer.

[XQueenieXBX]

I went to my doctor because i have lumps in my throat near windpipe....and i can see one right at back of tongue. Due to me being stressed out lately my DR put it down to stress and said its all in my head,....but its not i got grape like lumps in my throat. i am in no pain?? but my neck has been sore for 2 weeks now and the lump has been present for over 4 weeks. I feel no one is listening to me and i am not sleeping. I feel tight necked all time. What are these lumps?

[X1XhieiX5X]

I've abused alcohol for over 6 months with some periods being heavy. I also combined it with cigarettes at one point and have a had a feeling of a lump in the back of my throat for 2-3 weeks now. Time to see a doctor me thinks.

[KINGMJ1990]

I smoked for about 8 months,not regularly though only 2-3 times a week,1 cigarette.Drink beer sometimes,maybe once a month.

I did not have any problem until I had malaria recently combined with a sore throat.Both are treated but now I feel there is some kind of a blocking on the left side of my throat,it doesn't pain during swallowing or speaking.I feel uneasy.I am 21.Please some one advice me.What should I do?

[UMHealthSystem]

@KINGMJ1990 The best thing to do is make an appointment to see your doctor.

[KYTribe]

@KINGMJ1990 Sounds like your glands are up. I have this after bouts of tonsillitus. I would advise you to see a doctor and to stop looking up throat cancer on youtube, if you are anything like me you will be convinced that this is your illness lol :)

[vinylbase]

lol call 911 if u didnt die by now..lolololol (JK)

[ItsDatGirlJordz]

[bigboy6969100]

My dad drink every day and he is like 70 years old and don't get thoart cancer but my mom did :)

[SolutionSpill]

I have been dianosed with the same cancer last week and I have no medical insurance, I wish i was a celeb.

[gamblermic]

@SolutionSpill

Go to Canada. Get free treatment. Tell others. You have nothing to lose.

[MasterOfMonopoly]

On January 5 2011 I woke up during midnight I had the chills then I got a sore throat which only last 3 days

[destroymatrixraptor]

[xXChaosRageXx]

One day when i woke up my voice hurt really bad and i started to cough up blood a little what should i do i went to my doctors he gave me some meds but it wont stop.

[jadestar101]

can you lose your hair from this?

what happens if your Throat pipe gets smaller? do you have Head and neck cancer

can you died from this?

[barf245]

@jadestar101 President Ulysses S. Grant died from throat cancer.

[Mariadelsol1011]

does lymph node look like a 2-3 milimeter big white bump?

[XQueenieXBX]

@Mariadelsol1011 i have one of these lumps, infact i got a few...im terrified

[Mariadelsol1011]

@XQueenieXBX Sorry, I didn't write the above statement =T But did you have a doctor's appointment yet to see if those lumps are really what you think they are? (It's just I had some of those too, but they turned out to be strep throat =P)

[XQueenieXBX]

@Mariadelsol1011 No answers yet, he still telling me its stress but the lumps are still there. I am due to see someone else next week but i think something is wrong. I still have a sore neck and throat. I have looked up strep throat and thinking it may be this or something to do with glands, i hope so!

[Mariadelsol1011]

@XQueenieXBX I wish you the best =) Hopefully, it is just something like strep throat.......

[jason127x99]

I would think it would be 19 dislikes and 0 likes on cancer.

[YOURGODISNOWHERE]

Fascinating. I was trying to e-diagnose myself. I just have a numbness in my throat, hoarseness * a tightness in the chest. They did a chest x-ray and found nothing... hopefully this is GERD. Though I was very sexually active in my twenties.

[MegaJohnnyjackass]

@YOURGODISNOWHERE "Though I was very sexually active in my twenties.".....ROTFLMAO!!!!!

[Tycc66]

.....In September of 1981 Dolores had (Total Laryngectomy) surgery to ease the cancer. The operation was successful. But the cancer returned and metastasized to other organs. Dolores Moran died five months later on February 5th 1982 from (Carcinoma of the Pharynx and larynx with generalized metatases). She was 56yrs old. This video is very informative about the understanding of certain throat cancers. Thanks for posting.

[Tycc66]

@Tycc66 A well known 1940's-50's actress by the name of "Dolores Moran" famous for her first major starring role in the 1944 film (To Have and Have Not) had a particular form of throat cancer that had taken her life at a relatively young age. A film enthusiast of Dolores Moran's acting works,a few years ago I decided to do some research into her medical case.....

[jrmelendres]

symptoms are quite scary ... Smoking Tobacco is highly potent anyone of you who smokes here perhaps start to quit soon

[Elllaahh]

It hurts when I swallow, but it doesnt feel like a ball in ym throat it just feels like i have a scratchy throat, also when I hiccough or burp I get a congested feeling in my ears. Do I have a cold or could it be throat cancer? no lung pain or coughing really just a sore throat and when I breathe really deep my chest kinda feels congested!

[bigboy6969100]

can dry mouth or dry thoart cause cancer in the thoart ?

[florxel1]

[BabyGurl00818]

@ kc443, Go 2 tha dr soon. Tell him/her wot's goin on with ur throat. They may have 2 put a camera down ur throat. U don't swallow it. U won't even feel it. They just need 2 do a close-up 2 check it.

[bicepsca]

my father has not eaten in 6 months, he is tube fed. He had radiation and chemo 6 months ago and it is really hard on him. i heard this is normal for them not to eat for a long time

[kc443]

i have shortness of breath, pain in the bak of my neck, and chest the pain just started happenng. but the shortness of breath has been fukin wit me 4 at least a month. i dont have any insurance, but im scared i have sum kind of cancer. what should i do?!?

[UMHealthSystem]

Clearly posting a question like this on YouTube is not a quick way to get treatment but if you have not already done so, you should seek medical care immediately when suffering symptoms such as the ones you have described. .

[PawelKolasa]

did it occur to you, that like MOST american's that person can't afford treatment or visits to specialist?

Maybe isn't even insured? Does YOUR insurance cover such visits?

are you living in lala land? Oh, wait, you are.... america!

[andrethedj17]

go to the doctors dont wait and see what happens mate!!!!

if i were u id just go u can never be 2 safe :)

go doctors see what they say

[stacks6969allday]

@kc443 i have the same feeling and i also get real fainting feellings to when i walk around and i get tinggles alot and my chest gets hevey but my throught always hurts and its watery when i breathe in im only 22

[robram818]

@kc443 go to a free clinic in yoiur area....or a medical clinic which will treat you for a small fee!

[DEREKCABRAL1991]

@kc443 I Feel The Complete Same Way,Im Scared To,I Hope I Can Take Care Of What I Have

[MegaJohnnyjackass]

@kc443 Drink some acid maybe

[Heathaholic]

I haven't eaten any solid food for 2 weeks because of Throat Cancer. I always thought you had to smoke and drink to have throat cancer, i don't do any of that....so i thought i was clear.

[gcdiver]

ok. you probably have a cold or flu. watch for symptons like what the doctor on this viseo describes, and if you think you need to have it checked out, don't wait. throat cancer can spread to lungs, brain, liver and kill you. good luck.

[yngwie94]

if you don t smoke or chew tobacco,drink etc. can you have throat cancer???sry for my english...

[gcdiver]

yes. i had it and went through chemo and radiation 2 years ago. thankfully, I caught it early enough to survive it. not everyone is so lucky.

[yngwie94]

and what symptoms did you have?

[gcdiver]

lump in my throat that wasn't sre or tender. doc gave me antibiotics cause he thought it was infection... turned out to be cancer. find a good ears, nose and throat doctor to diagnose you. where do you live (state?)

[yngwie94]

i live in athens,greece but i don't think i have anything,i ve just couldn't swallow so much for a few days and had phlegm it must be a cold because after 2 days my nose was "running" too,oh and i sometimes have horseness but that's nothing to worry about cos i am sixteen years old and my friends horse a bit too,well all teenagers horse sometimes that's normal

[kikilou09]

my husband is going through this right now, he had a tumor removed from his vocal cords, we are in an ongoing battle with this, if you have any tips or pointers for us, they are planning another surgery, they couldnt get all of the tumor the first try, should we go a different route?

[WONDAWOMAN]

@kikilou09 Change what you eat!! There are some good documentaries on food and cancer .. I am downloading torrents now. Send me a message as a reminder and once I download them, I will send you the link to the info so you can watch it.. but you gotta remind me. I have a friend going through this right now as well.
