Hello there .

I am sorry to hear you are going through the worry at the moment.

Usually with cancer you have no symptoms, just a lump, and often quite small  so you do not know that you've got it.

My nodule was large and I got earaches with it as well as jaw ache later on as it was growing. But it's more to do with size of it (it was 7x5cm at the moment of removal). Large nodules tend to press on nerves and cause all these symptoms (throat aches, cough,  suffocating feeling, ear ache etc). Also your thyroid could be underactive, hence feeling tired.

In regards of lymphnodes under chin, I have one on the side where lump was, but during biopsy sonographer didn't think much of it. Neither did surgeon before operation.

If thyroid cancer spreads into lymphnodes, it tends to be the ones to the side of the neck, below the ears and on the back of the neck, but not under the chin ones, that's I was told.

 My tumour turned out to be papillary carcinoma  but with no invasion or lymphnode spread. 

You will never know by symptoms if its cancer or not. Best to have some biopsies done. Even then the answers may not be clear :(

Wishing you the best of luck
