a year and a half ago i had a very bad upper respiratory infection and some lymph nodes in my neck swelled and never went down but remained a little over a centimeter. i went in to the doctor who did bloods which were normal and then did a neck ultrasound. they incidentally found a 5mm thyroid cyst or what they called ‘cystic lesion’ the note said this was almost certainly benign but from everything i have read being young (check) male (check) having only one nodule (check) and having enlarged lymph nodes in the neck are all huge red flags. I talked to my doctor, a thyroid specialist as well as two ENT’s about it and they are not worried in the least and say its much too small to biopsy. I am just very concerned and looking for input. .
Same thing happen to me. My doctor said the nodule was too small and she thought biopsy
was going to be unsuccessful because of the size but I insisted and 4 days later(04/29/20) came back positive for thyroid cancer. Please,please insist on the biopsy. Don’t ask for the biopsy, demand to get biopsy.

was yours a cyst or a nodule? there is technically a difference I should mention mine has not grown in a year and a half of monitoring which is a good sign.
how big was yours too?
