Hi everyone 

I'm new to your discussion here and sorry to read all your stories. 
I have had a multi modular goitre for over 25 years and have lived alongside this until last year as it started to put pressure on my throat. The specialist decided to do a partial thyroidectomy last October (2024). The procedure went well other than I lost my voice for. Few weeks (which did return). On my check up they told me that they did find papillary thyroid cancer on two nodules. I started to feel much better until about 3 weeks ago when I could feel pressure from the remaining side of my thyroid which gives you a sensation your being strangled. I am awaiting some sort of response from the very busy ENT department. 
I have to say that being told you have cancer is a massive shock and the very distressful to cope with. My family never talk about it  but I play it down so nobody gets upset.

Anyway, I wish you all well
