Thyroid cancer fear

[darlene85]

I have very bad case of HA. I've discovered that I have Hashimoto six years ago and doctor saw something on ultrasound, wasn't sure about it so she ordered some tests. I never went. I haven't been to the doctor (for thyroid, but I have had blood tests few times) since 2015. I don't know anyone so irresponsible. Since then I live in fear that I have thyroid cancer and every time I want to go I imagine they will tell me I have a few weeks/months to live and I can't go.
I have fatique sometimes, my neck is swelled and I have depression which makes things worst. I decided to go when this heat wave passes but I am scared to death. If I had thyroid cancer in 2015 then it must reached stage IV now... I am beyond scared and I don't know how will I cope if they tell me I'll die.

I know that thyroid cancer is treatable but when catched early, after so many years I doubt it is.

I don't know what you expect anyone to say :shrug: The fact you're here seeking reassurance years after indicates you're ok. Call your doctor and set an appointment for your reassurance.

You don’t have thyroid cancer you have Hashimoto confirmed by a doc. Go to the doctors so you can get it treated :)

With Hashimoto's, you often get thyroid swelling called goiter, and that's what your doctor probably saw. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer a year ago and on two ultrasound, the doctors could clearly tell me that I have a suspicious nodule and I need a biopsy. What did your doctor tell you?

Hi Mostu, I know this thread was a long time ago can you tell me what your symptoms was please?. I have all the symptoms of Underactive Thyroid, I have struggled for years with these symptoms I did one test two years ago and it came back normal. I now have a goiter that is restricting my breathing, doctor has booked me in for tests and said that because I suffer with anxiety she will refer me to ENT. I am very worried the goiter is cancerous, I have only recently noticed it. My doctor did say to consider that I've had infection with my wisdom tooth for a long time and that I had a very bad chest infection last month. But seeing the lump is worrying me...

I hope you are well.
