Neck lump and waiting for biopsy

Hi all, just wondering if anybody else has been through this and what the outcome was....so I found a lump on the left side of my neck in April, suddenly just appeared from nowhere but I was feeling really run down and stressed plus I kept feeling cold. I spoke with GP and she put me on an antibiotic which did nothing, I then made an appointment to see her and as soon as she felt the lump she sent me for urgent bloods and an urgent ultrasound. Bloods came back fine but there is a small cystic nodule on right thyroid and on left side the lump is a solid nodule with cystic area measuring 2.5 by 3.4 cm it has been classed as a U3 and advised to see ENT. I saw ENT and he put a camera up my nose and down my throat but didn't see anything, he said he doesn't think it is anything sinister and most likely benign but wants a biopsy, I am hoarse, I have a sore throat I'm tired and I keep getting pain in my ear and the back of my head. If it's not a malignant lump then what could it be? I'm getting myself worked up, I already suffer with an autoimmune disorder and stress can make it worse so I am trying not to stress. I'm waiting now for appointment for biopsy. Be great to know if anybody else has gone through this snd if so what was the outcome good or bad. Thanks

  • Hi, 

    I'm.in a similar situation though thyroid nodule was found randomly on an mri scan . I had a ultrasound which showed as U3 indeterminate and my biopsy has come back today as showing abnormal cells , THY3F so looks a bit suspicious but not showing cancer as such.  Consultant recommends removing left side of thyroid so he can see exactly what the lump is . From what I have researched and discussion with consultant,  thyroid nodules are rarely cancer and if they are its very treatable,  generally just removal of part or all thyroid.  Do you know when your biopsy is? Hopefully you will get a benign result . Rather frustrating that my results are inconclusive and surgery is the only way to know for sure .
