scared- cancer

Honestly I’m scared I’ve got mouth cancer, im only 17 years old. Different types of cancer runs through my family strongly and I’m scared I might be one of them. I have the two top symptoms ; small lump on the roof of my tongue and a painless ulcer that won’t heal. I know I need to go to the gp but I’m just so scared that I do have cancer and I feel like crying so much.

When I tell anyone they just laugh at me and say “you’re too young you don’t have cancer” I don’t think age matters to be honest.

So I’m getting my mum to book me an appointment

Honestly I’m so scared, I’m just in a really hectic time of my life , I have exams and I’m applying to unis and have uni interviews to prepare for

I don’t know man
