A member asked:
If thyroid tissue if growing outside the thyroid and i have thyroid nodules does that mean it is cancer ?

Not necessarily: You may have asked a similar question earlier. What you described does not mean cancer nor does it rule it out. You need to be examined by a doctor and have a discussion with the doctor who knows more about your health. Your illness may be anxiety rather than thyroid disease.
