welcome to Health care magic.
1.Yes, you have to inform about the axillary lumps.
2.Mostly they are lymph nodal enlargement due to the thyroid pathology cause.
3.As at the same time along with the thyroid nodules you doctor may decide to take a FNAC form the axillary region.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
