ENT for neck lump.negitive CT,and thyroid scan. Cancer??

An ENT is trained in disorders such as this - i.e. lumps in neck, thyroid, etc. My daughter went through the same thing as you and was finally referred to an ENT.

My advise to you is to pursue this for as long as it takes to find an answer. Like you, our internist didn't find anything in bloodwork or on scans, but our ENT thought the lump was suspicious enough to follow through with further testing. So, please, please, have this seen about.

I don't want to scare you in any way, but my daughters was cancer. It was contained, though and was easily treated with further surgery and then radioactive iodine. She was 19 when diagnosed (September, 2007). We have now made it to the 6 month post radiation mark and she is doing SO remarkably well!!! She takes daily medication because she has no thyroid at all, but she is so healthy now.

Had I NOT pursued this matter, well, I don't even want to think about what might have happened. The bottom line is that it is your body and you KNOW something is wrong. Keep on until you find someone who is willing to do further testing.

I will keep you in my prayers. If you want to e-mail me, I will give you some more information about my daughter's condition.

God bless!

the doctor cant help it so he send u to ENT. sometimes they do, im the one who felt dizzy, wasting so much money & time in ENT & finally they refused to cure me & pass me to Neurology after the MRI brain scan.

In the absence of remarkable blood work or CT, I would suspect a benign tumor.
An ENT, by the way, is an Ear Nose and Throat doctor. It isn't a scan like a CT.
