Whats my risk of developing cancer within the next 5 years? just turned 17 years old with no health conditions apart from seasonal allergies and asthma?

Minimal: Rare things rarely occur. If you are preoccupied with your health get a good checkup done. If that does not allay your focus seek out a life coach/therapist to help learn ways to deal with stress. A health phobia is sometimes a subconscious but more acceptable cover for other stresses you face.
