Lump in Neck area

Question

Lump in Neck area

Asked for Female, 60 Years

My mother (60 years) was having goitre. In 1989 she went an surgery and the lump was removed. She is in Thyrox medicine from then. From last year, we are seeing small lump again in her neck area. We consulted an endocrinologist and he suggested to go for a FNAC test. This test require injecting a needle in neck area. So, my mother is not ready to go for this test. Is there any other alternative test to verify the disease. Please suggest.
