Start of Lung Cancer ?

I am feeling really scared at the moment.......ive just started having a bit of a tickly cough nothing tht bad ......but when i cough i noticed pin prick specs of blood through my spit gross i know. So now im constantly checking what is coming up and it all has this in it.
I did smoke when i was younger im now 38 ( a social smoker ...more when i was in smokers company or having a drink) but not now the health anxiety wouldnt allow it but im sure this could be the start of lung cancer. I'm really worried to the point of not being able to function as i know you dont have a good survival rate with this can anyone help please x

hi please dont worry too much
when you cough you can cause small blood vessels in your throat to break which causes small streaks of blood in the spit.

It has happend to me too and i freaked but the doctor explained it too me
If it keeps happening check with doctor but it is highly unlikely to be anything serious at all.
