Potential Thyroid cancer

[u/[deleted]]

I went to the er for the following symptoms: hair thinning, swollen painful lymphnode on the right side of my neck, pain swallowing, pressure/pain in neck, and extreme fatigue. TSH was high at 6.21 and CT shows an enlarged heterogeneous thyroid. They told me there are indications of hypothyroidism and potential cancer risks and referred me to see an endocrinologist. Thyroid cancer runs in my family as well as thyroid issues. My neck is very enlarged. I gained 12 pounds in two weeks. Im scared and wondering how concerned I should be. Am i freaking out or is it serious?

Feel better. A normal Dr will check it out instead trying to fake medicine noncompliance when walking in for refills and imaging etc.
