Many of these are cured and will have a normal lifespan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Source: NHS Choices<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Despite feeling fine, she became increasingly concerned with the growth and she decided to eventually visit her GP three months later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">And after undergoing a range of medical tests and scans, they confirmed to her that it was a thyroid nodule &#8211; a fluid-filled lump.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Further assessment confirmed her worst fears, revealing the mass was malignant and that she needed surgery at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She has now been in remission for just slightly more than a year after having the left side of her thyroid, where the cancer was, removed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Thyroid cancer is usually treatable and in many cases can be cured completely, but it can sometimes come back after undergoing treatment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Alongside the lump in the neck, other symptoms of the relatively rare form of the disease include unexplained hoarseness, a sore throat and difficulty swallowing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Miss Nickson Brown will be running a marathon next month to raise money for the Birmingham-based charity Get-A-Head, which helped her through her diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Anyone wanting to donate can do so\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p>            <!-- ad: http:\/\/mads.dailymail.co.uk\/v2\/us\/health\/none\/article\/other\/inread_player.html --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"social-links-title\">Share or comment on this article<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"bigLinks sc-icns cleared\">\n<li class=\"facebook\">\n<p>                                    <span class=\"wai\">e-mail<\/span><br \/>\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<li class=\"share\" id=\"shareLinkBottom\">\n<p>                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<li class=\"social-stats social-stats-pipe\" id=\"shareCountBottom\">\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"addCommentButton\" class=\"add-comment\">\n<p>                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>            <!-- NOTE: WARNING: render-partial is a function --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"rotator-panels\">\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/03\/05\/23\/3DFD660300000578-0-image-a-11_1488757132171.jpg\" alt=\"Footage has emerged of Steve Bannon in the Oval Office on Friday when Donald Trump erupted into a 'ballistic' tirade against his senior advisors\u00a0\" width=\"154\" height=\"115\" \/><span class=\"wocc bdrcc\">Are relations that bad?
