Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month

Symptoms of thyroid cancer include:
a lump in the front, lower part of your neck – the lump usually feels hard, slowly gets bigger and is not painful
a hoarse voice
a sore throat
difficulty swallowing or breathing
pain in the front of your neck, or a feeling like something is pressing against your neck

Other symptoms can include:
a red face (flushing) – this may be harder to see on brown or black skin
softer poos or diarrhoea
weight loss
a cough
If you have a thyroid condition, such as a goitre (swollen thyroid), you may get symptoms like these regularly.
You might find you get used to them. But it's important to be checked by a GP if your symptoms change, get worse, or do not feel normal for you.

See a GP if:
you have a lump in your neck – either a new lump or an existing lump that's getting bigger
you've had a hoarse voice, sore throat or cough for more than 3 weeks
you have pain in the front of your neck, or a feeling like something is pressing against your neck
