Diagnosed with over active thyroids and i have goitre on my left side and also it's hard for me to swallow i'm due for an ultrasound is it cancer?

Unlikely: chance of thyroid cancer is very low in the presence of overactive thyroid. Most likely you have what is called Toxic Nodular Goiter. Ultrasound of the thyroid is very important.
