Constant headache

2019-06-15 19:53:58
Have been smoking for on and off for 8 years. Started to have a mild pain in the throat area. Got the ultrasound done and there were very small cysts in the thyroid. Doctor told me not to worry and asked me to quit smoking. I did quit smoking and the pain went away. Unfortunately I started smoking again and it has started to hurt again. Could it be cancer? What tests I do to make sure it isn't?
