This Is Not About Pregnancy, But No One Else Is Answering My Question?


Here’s the deal:
About 4 years ago, I noticed a mass on the front of my throat. It moved up and down as I swallowed, almost as if it were attached to my Adam’s apple. It was painful to the touch and when I swallowed or yawned. I went to an ENT doctor who did a biopsy. He determined that the mass was not on or affiliated with my thyroid. He sat me in a chair and stuck a needle in my neck to suck out some of the contents of the mass (not very fun at all). His nurse put the contents on a slide, prepared it right away, and looked at it under a microscope in his office. They both determined that the mass was cystic and benign. I was scheduled for surgery to remove it the next day. That night, I went home and prayed hard that I wouldn’t have to go into surgery. The thought terrified me. I had an ultrasound scheduled at about 10 am the next morning. I woke up and felt my throat, and there was no mass anymore. I told my mom, and she called the doctor. He still wanted me to come in for the ultrasound to determine if it was still there. I went in for it, but the ultrasound tech. couldn’t find anything. So, they released me and there was never any surgery.
Now, just a few days ago, the mass is back. It’s the same pain, and it’s in the exact same spot. It moves with my Adam’s apple, and it hurts when I touch it. I’m going to be calling the doc to get this all figured out soon. But, I thought I’d get some opinions. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Has anyone ever experienced this before?
