Hello, i posted a post earlier about having a bad respratory infection, found lump in neck which went away. but then a week later had trouble swallowing, so doctor sent me for ultrasound which found 1 cm nodule on thyroid with suspicous characterstics which they labeled indeterminate. Well after all the panic and how scared i might have thyroid cancer, i have an appt at mass general jan 5th. well it is now two weeks later and waiting to go to appt and i can not feel the lump anymore when swallowing. it is like it went away maybe? and the lump in neck went away too. could the nodule on thyroid have gone away? could it have all been from the upper respiratory infection? Could it have been subacute thyrosism but thyroid blood test normal? even if is still there but has decreased in size and I can not feel it any longer, does that mean it is probally benign?

Hi Mom_bet11,


Those are good questions.
