Find an ENT doctor: Depends a bit on why you might have thyroid cancer. I would consult an ENT doctor as my first choice, followed an endocrinologist as my second choice. If you have signs her symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, endocrinologist is the first choice.

ENT: Find an ENT (ear nose throat physician) to evaluate you. An ultrasound would be the most common first step, but since you say you are worried that you might have thyroid cancer, you may have already had one; ultrasounds sometimes create uncertainty by showing nonspecific thyroid nodules. An ENT can evaluate you as an individual and decide what would be the next best step.
