I have a doctor s appt., but not until Sept. I have a nodular growth on my thyroid gland diagnosed at 16. I have kept track of it for all these years. My daughter just recently went through a thyroid cancer treatment where upon they removed her thyroid gland. This encouraged me to get another ultra sound of my thyroid gland. My endocrinologist is not concerned. I told him of my choking and said that it seems like the growth is moving inward. I made an appt with an ENT. It is not until September 7th. No one seems to be too concerned about the fact that I feel like there is something in my throat that is choking me.
