Sorry to hear of your cancer. My windpipe was pushed over due to large nodule at the time of scan was 5cm on my right side. I had another nodule on center of the Thyroid later sized as 1cm. My symptoms were cough, choking, headaches and a few times food getting stuck in windpipe. With an endoscope down my nostril I had infection in my tonsils and I had pain in my lymph nodes and saliva glands. I was sent to ENT to see a Doctor who examined my lump and advised a scan and biops. See your GP for referral, with my size of Nodule even been one side the decision was made after the scan it was suspicious and total Thyroidectomy was the course of action. The surgery was fine but importance is having a good team with experience. I had no damages to other parts linked to Thyroid position so affecting calcium or voice. My cut was positioned around a crease in my neck and even after a few weeks with massaging and moisturizer it is looking great. I hope you have good news from your scan and biops.
