| risk of lung and oral cancer by age?
recently i have become a bit of a hypochondriac towards cancer, ideally oral and lung. admittedly i do smoke and used to smoke roughly 10 a day, but my switch from cigs to rollies have cut the number in halve.
im 19 know and have seen the diagnosis ratio of lung cancer from 2005 and it almost seems that it is impossible to get lung cancer before teh age of 30, i know it IS possible, but im less worried about that.
so im more looking at the risks of oral cancer and the likeliness at my age.
i am going to see my GP 2morrow to get a little reassurance because at the moment i have a cold/sore throat and looking with a light and mirrow i can see the back of my throat has swollen up along with red rash marks.
so before i go, can someone please just tell me the odds of getting either cancer at my age of 19 while smoking 5-10 a day? thanks. |
