could a cyst on the right thyroid, hoarseness and a lymph node enlarged to 3cm under right armpit be cancer?

Maybe: A lump in the thyroid and hoarseness suggests cancer, but a lymph node under the arm is probably not related. Get all three problems checked out. A surgical oncologist is competent to deal with all of these issues.
