A very close friend of mine developed throat cancer at age 50. He had no pain in the beginning... what he had was an annoying , dry cough that wouldnt go away.... he described it as dry and itchy. But I would imagine that different people have different symptoms. The good news is that if caught early it is a highly treatable cancer.

Thats exactly how it started for my Grandmother.
She didn't see someone, and when she finally did it had spread to her lungs, mouth and nasal cavity. She has about 3 weeks left to live.
I beg of you, don't put it off! The longer you do, the more serious it can become. Early prevention is the best cure.
