I am freaking out, I am 19 years old and I have smoked marijuana for the last few years and I just coughed up blood in my mucus. It wasnt a whole lot of blood but I feel like something is wrong with my lungs. What are the odds I have lung cancer... and furthermore since I am young would it be easier to treat?
