Long term cough, voice change
I've had a cough for the last three months. I feel a constant need to clear my throat. There are dull oral aches, and I have lost weight over the past few weeks as well. 3 out 4 people in my Mum's family died of cancer, and I've been feeling paranoid about this. Should I head for a cancer test?
