Do I have cancer??? I am only 14!!!?!


Question: Do I have cancer!?!?!? I am only 14!!!!?
My parents were talking about how my grandma had something wrong!.!.!. tyroid infection in her throat, and my mum was going for a check up!.

I always have these weird feelings in my throat, since I had this panic attack a few months ago, and it never leaves my mind, anyway, I looked up the symptoms, and it's exactly what I have in my throat!.!.!. I am scared!.

It's just under a small bump in the middle of my throat (which is sort of off to one side, rather than the other)!. It feels like there is a sick feeling in my throat the whole time, and a huge pressure, really heavy/blocked feeling!. It only randomly came on today, when I push on it, really slightly, like touch it the pressure increases!. What is this!? Am I being paranoid!? Please help me I am scared!.!.!.


And it does not hurt, at all, just uncomfortable, pressure and a horrible sick feeling!.
I had a bit of a sore throat on Thursday and Friday, and have been drinking a lot more!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It is very unlikely that you would have cancer at your age, but if you don't feel quite right and are worried, you should go to the doctor and have yourself checked out!. After you find out it is something minor you will be relieved, and in the very unlikely event you have cancer, perhaps by going to the doctor it will be caught in time!.

I've found that when I look up the symptoms, I start out with the assumption of it being cancer, and most likely some of my symptoms match those for cancer!. But most likely the problem is something you have no idea of, and if you knew what you had the symptoms would match something else that is not very serious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would advise you go to the doctor and tell them every thing you can get a scan PET, CT, MI-BG that would identify a tumor!. if you haven't told your parents yet tell them, thyroid cancer is very serious, the thought that you may have cancer is very scary to anyone!. but the sooner you take action the sooner you take action the better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First off, thyroid problems are not necessarily cancer!. Second, you sound paranoid and like you might even been making yourself have symptoms just by worrying so much!. the reason the pressure increases is because you're blocking your air when push on your throat!. Seriously, no worries and if you are incredibly worried, just go have a check-up!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ok, firstly you really shouldn't worry too much!. At the age of 14 your body is changing a lot as everyone around you probably says!. The ONLY was you can know in complete certainty is to go and see a doctor!. You don't have to tell anyone you are going, anyone can make a confidential appointment!. But I suggest you tell your mum so that she can help you along!. It may be nothing, it may be something really small and curable!. The chances of cancer are low, but always be sure :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your thyroid is not actually in your throat!. It is below it!. You wouldn't have a sore throat from a thyroid problem!. Thyroid problems will cause problems with weight, hair, skin, metabolism, etc!. It sounds like you have a swollen gland and maybe getting a cold!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

YOU ARE PROBLY JUST THINKING THAT BECAUSE OF WHAT YOUR GRANDMA WENT THROUGH ! DONT BE SOO PARANOID! TALK TO YOUR PARENTS!.!.TELL THEM HOW YOU FEEL!.!. AND THEN GO CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR!.!.YOULL BE FINE!.!.=] DONT WORRYWww@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like the influenza!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is your Adam's apple which is a piece of cartilage and every single person in this world has this - it is part of your anatomy!. I believe your anxiety is giving you a lot of the symptoms!. You need to find some physical activity to do to get your mind off of this stuff!. You can treat your sore throat with tylenol or ibuprofen, rest, increase your fluid intake and run a humidifier in the bedroom where you sleep!. If it gets progressively worse, then get a strep test done to see if any antibiotics are needed!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
