Lump On The Left And Right Side Of Esophagus. Symptoms Of Thyroid Cancer?
Hello, I have a question about a lump on the left and right side of my esophagus . I noticed the first one on the left of my neck a few months ago. It was strange because if I pushed on the lump it would almost click back and then return to the place it was. I have also noticed that I have had a sore throat for the last week or two. This worries me because it sounds like the symptoms of thyroid cancer .

Dear Sir/Ma'am,
Sorry to hear about your problem. From your description it looks like you are suffering from a thyroid swelling. Thyroid swellings can be benign or cancerous and the only way to differentiate between the two is by getting a needle test (FNAC) of the swelling done.
You should visit a surgeon and have your swelling evaluated.
Hoping for the best.
