Your : Your symptoms are very concerning, and you need to be seen immediately by a physician. Pain, vomiting, a sore on your tongue and swollen tonsils must be taken very seriously, especially since it appears you may have had a diagnosis of cancer in the past. Please get this checked by a physician immediately.

Yes: You can die from throat cancer. If you've been treated with surgery, radiation and/or chemo, some of your symptoms may be due to the treatment. By all means see your cancer specialist. If you've not been treated, treatment is urgent.
