throat lump

Hi ive recently found a lump in my throat i have been to the doctors and they have referred me for an ultrasound. Im going out of my mind with worry. The lump is a little smaller than a golf ball and its sits where my thyroid is , the doc said its soft smooth and is movable so is thinking a cyst. Since going to the doctor its moved more into my windpipe area and feels like i have something in my throat. my throat has been a little raspy but put it down to me being ill the other week. Do cancerous lumps move like this usually? doc has also ordered bloods to be done to check for a range of things as i have a lot of symptoms of hypothyroidism. Has any one had the same thing and has already been seen by the hospital ? 

Thanks in advance 

  • Hello barnsleylass86, 

    You've done all the right things in going to see the doctor's about this lump in your throat and all you can do now is wait for this ultrasound and I hope it won't be long now before you get a bit of clarity on all this. 

    I hope that you will hear from others who have had this before too and had similar tests and that they will be along shortly to share their experiences with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out to be fine. 

    Best wishes,
