Well the "mass" needs to be biopsied. Many times it is just a goiter and not cancer. In the event it is cancer, thyroid cancer grows very slowly and survival rate is excellent. I have lived with Hypothyroidism for many years, they are always checking it, scanning it etc. I have two friends with thyroid cancer and it's been over ten years and they are still fine. Please make sure yearly scanning of the thyroid is done as well as taking medicine.
