What type of blood tests did the dr. do? For Thyroid function they will test your TSH or FT3/FT4. If they scan it they will most likely ultrasound it to see if the lump is actually on your thyroid. Sometimes with Thyroid Nodules you can also feel them when you swallow. Are you feeling poorly that might give you the idea that it is Thyroid related?

A blood test will show Thyroid function, but to see a lump you sould have a sonogram of the thyroid.

No, they need to do the scan. They need to see what this lump is and if it's on the thyroid gland (or parathyroid gland) or not. It could be attached to something else.

A few months ago, I was very sick, zero energy, freezing cold, depressed, weight gain, thought I was dying. I read every word of this Hypothyroidism Revolution program and followed all the advice. My life turned around the first week. I started to feel human again. Within weeks my energy came back and I felt like living again.

it wasnt enough in this case, if it was a glandular thing your thyroid functions would have been off. Other possibilities include cyst or tumor.
