well if you brush your teeth and there's blood then you could be brushing too hard or you could use a softer toothbrush OR you have plaque in your mouth which can be treated with extra brushing with special toothpaste and a trip to your dentist. for your sore throat you could have a cold but if the pain is really bad you tonsils could be inflamed so you should go to the doctor and get checked out. If you have any sort of tonsillitis then the doctor will have them removed. it's not that bad having them removed. I had them done myself. And by the way, if you never smoked or anything, it's a very small chance you have cancer. Even if you only smoked once that wouldn't be enough to to give you cancer. Don't sweat it to much. Just do what I say and you should be alright. Besides, you're only 17.

Go to a Doctor. Its very unlikely that you have cancer. But it's a smart thing to do, to go see a doc.

it's highly unlikely you have cancer, but no good that there's blood in your spit...you may have some sort of infection.
That's the problems with people reading the internet for symptoms of diseases/illnesses - it's always best to see your doctor, in person, first.
Hope it's not serious and you get well soon

I can say with a high degree of certainty based on this information, that you don't have throat cancer. go to the doctor at your next earliest convenience.

Don't freak out..you probably just have post-nasal drip. I had it, and my throat was so sore, I could hardly even swallow at times...and my nose is always stuffed. You need to visit an Ear Nose and Throat doctor (ENT). The blood that you see may be because you're brushing your tongue too hard.

I think you just have an infection in there. Listerine kills germs and makes a great gargle solution, and so does salt water.

Yahoo Answers should not be used as a substitution for a medical professional.
A sentence of words...not enough to say you are dying of cancer. At 17, you probably have strep or some kind of infection...like everyone lately. See a freekin doctor.

Relax go to the doctor.. no one can diagnose you on the computer. It is okay to be self aware but relax also. probably have bronchitis or something along those lines. It should be fine, but do go to the doc and get checked to ease your mind.

I most likely is allergies but blood is nothing to sneeze at. Call your doctor. If it is allergies there are wonderful medications and remedies out there. We here on this site are not doctors and only an MD can correctly diagnose and treat you. Do not try unproven home remedies. They can be dangerous. Good luck

The only person who can really determine this is your doctor/pediatrician. If you have never smoked, it is not likely that it is throat cancer, it could be a virus or another disease/illness. Go immediately to your doctor if the symptoms get worse. Hope you get well.

we can't make this determination. go to a doctor. they can help determine whether you need a biopsy and need to see an oncologist.
best wishes.

you probably dont have it. cancer is so rare for people your age. its more likely just strep throat or a really bad cold or something. But it would probably be a good idea to see your doctor just in case.

This is a classic example of ' A Little Knowledge Is A dangerous Thing'!
The chances of you having cancer is very very doubtful.
Stop reading med books, relax, if you are still worried go see a doctor, most of us here are not qualifed to answer such questions

You have a cold.
A sore throat that doesn't go away. not a throat that's been a little sore, would be a POSSIBLE symptom.
'Throat cancer' is not a precise medical term, and doctors generally don't use it. Many different types of cancer can develop in the throat.
