Hey there,

There is a good chance that the lump is just related to your boyfriend being ill recently. Thyroid cancer is quite rare and has other symptoms such as sore throat, difficulty swallowing and a hoarse voice that would persist for a few weeks.

I’ve had swollen glands before, and that’s mainly when I’m ill. Worst case scenario: my friend’s cousin found a lump and it was cancer. Luckily, they caught it quickly, got it treated and he is fine now. But these things are rare.

I do understand your anxiety about it though. Try to remind yourself that it’s unlikely it would be cancer, and in the worst case scenario, at least your boyfriend will go to the doctor’s soon.

Take care
