What Are The Symptoms Of Throat Cancer?

Hi, I am a 22 year old male, smoker. For the past week I've noticed a slight change in my voice. I am worried that this is the beginning stage of throat cancer but I do not have insurance or money to go get it checked out. When should I decide to just go in and have it checked out. I would also like to note that I do not have any noticable swelling in the neck or throat and I can not see anything abnormal in my throat. This is just distressing.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You should not worry about cancer. You don't have any mass or lump in throat or no any other abnormality. So chances of cancer are negligible. You may have sore throat or some vouce overuse that leads to change in your voice. Cancer causes difficulty in swallowing, pain in swallowing, weight loss, weaknesses, fever etc. You should not worry about cancer. Just be relaxed. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
