Constant sore throat 'can be cancer sign'

My father mentioned a two-month long sore throat with hoarseness to his GP in Dec 2017. Referred to a consultant for checks who gave him all clear in Jan '18 with 'nothing serious amiss'. 5 months later, June, diagnosed with stage 4 laryngeal cancer. Died in Nov '18.

GPs are overwhelmed with hypochondriacs stirred up by BBC and Daily Mail scare stories. Just get a grip and take a day off from saying to anxious people, 'You're probably dying of cancer.'

So how long is “persistant”?

Doctors don't care.

Gargle Navy Strength Gin. Always helps me.

This headline is Daily Mail level of irresponsible hypochondriac fearmongering.

That also means that the GP or doctor (I am in Canada)listens to the patient when they are reporting various symptoms and not ignoring them

iggy_base confirmed: I'm dying.

I genuinely read that as 'President's sore throat can be cancer sign' and my first thought was that's some leap if he's only got a sore throat

I assumed it. My father always had a sore throat. He had blood cancer, found out later. Always treated a sore throat

What an irresponsible tweet.

Well that's a cherry head line.... It could also mean you need fresh air, or drink something .....absolutely anything. Your negativity is a cancer in itself .... Thanks BBC

Is there actually anything that *isn't* a cancer sign?

Or untreated acid reflux.

Oh shit. Satan’s gonna be pissed if I show up early again.

...or that your boyfriend demands too much oral sex
