Goiter: The thyroid expands in part to compensate, and to make enough thyroid hormone when there is something internally wrong with the thyroid. You may have hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is injuring your thyroid, but it is responding by getting bigger. Or it could be a multinodular goiter. Cancer is a possibility, but much less common, and you should not worry. See your doctor about this.
