A member asked:
What is the likelihood of throat cancer as a recovering bulimic? throat is always scratchy. seeing specialist soon. i'm really worried.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Throat scratchy : The chances of a 20-year having throat cancer are very low. I am concerned with your mental health, often mental health is not bought up when speaking to the doctor. I suggest seeing a primary care doctor and talking about bulimia and your concern for the unlikely chance you have cancer.
