Thyroid noduals and swollen lymph node(s)

by aush1126, Feb 23, 2009 06:44PM
I have been to two doctors now about what turned out to be an enlarged lymph node on the right side of my neck. While feeling around he noticed, what we found out through getting an ultrasound, a thyroid nodule. I moved across the country this September and my doctor from the East Coast, after much hassle, told me i needed a biopsy on the thyroid nodual. I got an appointment with a doctor at an ear, nose and throat doctor who proceeded to give me some killer antibiotics which I finished taking about 2 weeks ago and did nothing. I still haven't been able to speak to him and ask him how to get the damn biopsy. (I should also note he suggested the possibility of a second biopsy on the swollen lymph node.) I scheduled an appointment with him this Wednesday so I can actually talk to a doctor about how me, a 19 year old male with no previous health concerns, can find out if those uncomfortable lumps in my neck are cancer. I noticed today that I have two slightly discolored lumps on my scalp, as well as what I am assuming to be another swollen lymph node behind my right ear. There are many more less concerning bumps all around, but should I mention these to my doctor when I see him? Or would it be smart for me to go ahead and find an endocrinologist or something to do get these biopsies over with?
