I had a thyroid scan last week and the doctor has rang and said I have a U3 nodule and two U2 nodules on my thyroid hes referred me to an ENT for further tests. My concern is that for over three months I've had difficulty swallowing and really bad hoarse voice,  painful headaches and pain in my neck. Does this mean I may have thyroid cancer with the U3 referral so sorry to ask when this site is for actual diagnosis but didn't know where else to go.   

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

    There's no need to apologise for asking questions as this site is as much for people having tests for possible cancer as it is for those who have been diagnosed. Having said that I don't know the answer to your question but I'm sure someone in the thyroid cancer group will.

    To join the group just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'. 

    When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
