Hello dear user;
Thank you for asking in HCM.

I would like to know :Did you take any lab test for Tsh, Free t3,Free T4?
Are you under treatment for thyroid?
Thyroid nodul has been diagnosed as bening by FNA(Fine Needle Aspiration )?
It's true that some our pation like you (Larg nodul) feel of pain in the neck, jaw, or ear.
If a nodule is large enough to compress the windpipe or esophagus, it may cause difficulty with breathing, swallowing, or cause a “tickle in the throat”.

The CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System is a non-invasive alternative to surgery for the treatment of both cancerous and non-cancerous tumors anywhere in the body,Is the methot without complication .

My advice is to meet an endocrinologist and to do the thyroid tests TSH,free T3 and free T4.and to meet a surger futhermore information.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.


Kind Regards
Dr Klodiana Poshi
