Lump on thyroid
I have a lump on my thyroid, the size of an olive. I went to the doctor and I had swallow and she said it is probably nothing because it moves and up and down when I swallow. She arranged a scan for me just to be sure but I still haven't received my appointment yet and now I am wondering if I should go to emergency to check it out because I am so worried.
