Hi everyone , I am new to the group . 
my story is as follows , I have had a largish goiter for 4+ years , during this time my health had taken a but of a beating . I now feel constantly tired , I have a sore throat most of the time , I loose my voice For weeks on end then it comes back but the more I talk it gets worse throughout the day . I have earache , my neck glands are swollen and tender as it behind my ears and even the glands under my arms get really  tender for a few days at a time then are fine.  I get strange issues with facial paralysis, eye twitching  and speech problems ( I know I sound like a hypochondriac). Prior to 4years ago I was in good health and rarely even got a cold ! 
Anyway at last a saw a new doctor 3 weeks ago and he said he was referring me to ENT , then I received a text to say because we suspect cancer you will have an ultrasound first and then an endoscopy . This has left me really worrying as I never considered cancer . I had the ultrasound yesterday and am constantly thinking through things . 
Can anyone else relate to my long and strange symptom list ? 
Thank you for reading x x

    I don't have experience of your symptoms, but just wanted to say hi and welcome. I can certainly relate to thinking about nothing else while waiting for results - all I seemed to do was google thyroid cancer, which really didn't help, but I didn't seem able to stop myself.

    Do hope you get reassuring news once you have had your various tests. Sounds like your new doc is really on the ball.

    I really like your username by the way - coffee, chocolate and cats are just about my favourite things (well, dogs too!).

    Thank you so much for saying hi , I know what you mean about not being able to help yourself  when Googling even though I know it’s a bad idea I still keep searching !! 

    I have coffee and chocolate everyday , a cat called Charlie bear and two dogs but felt they may over complicate my user name so had to defer  x 

    take care and thanks again
