Cancerous thyroid nodules. Are they painful sometimes?

[Aoifel73]

Id be really grateful for thoughts on this please. I'm awaiting surgery on a nodule that's suspicious for follicular cancer but obviously as we know, they can't be certain until its taken out.

What i want to know is, has anyone had a painful nodule that can be really sore consistently (8 months now), radiating up behind their ear and giving you a sore throat and it still come back as benign after surgery?

Or does pain usually mean cancer?

I’m just reaching out to wish you well with your upcoming surgery Aoifel73. Waiting and ‘not knowing’ all the answers is tough. Please be assured that most nodules are benign.

Yes they can affect your ears and have a sore throat as they are all connected as for ENT .ear, nose throat , the one thing i would definately advise before surgery is to make sure your b12 blood levels are good before surgery.
