Do Slightly Enlarged Thyroid With Multiple Nodules Suggest Thyroid Cancer?
I am afraid that I have thyroid cancer. I have had an ultrasound which revealed a slightly enlarged thyroid with multiple nodules. The thyroid and nodules appear benign . I also have enlarged lymph nodes in my armpits and those also had an ultrasound and appear benign . I feel fine other than the pain in my lymph nodes in my underarm and neck and behind ears. My bloodwork was normal. I am being referred to an ENT to look at thyroid and a specialist for my lymph nodes. I am 39 and female. No family history of thyroid issue or cancer. I am petrified that I have cancer in my thyroid and lymph nodes. Petrified. What do you think? Lymph nodes have hurt on and off since Easter.
get a thyroid scan done it will find to help are the nodules are hot and cold. only the biopsy taken from your thyroid gland as well as lymph nodes can confirm that is it is malignant or benign.
