Hi Jennifer,
I am sorry to hear about what is happening to you,
just remember not ever lump is cancer. If it happens
to be, feel good you found it early and you are doing
something about it. I also Have thyroid issues. I
have under active, It was discovered when I was 21,
now at 36, I realize I slept most of my teen years, no
seriously I did. Well now I have a lump, but it is on
my neck by the shoulder. I am waiting for my
appointment,Thursday someone will read my CT and
hopefully from there tell me, it a tumor and it is not
dangerous. Just stay positive, eat healthy, get lots
of rest. I can't stress enough to eat healthy,
nothing from a box, get a juicer, start healing
yourself.
Good Luck to You,
Teresa
