Strange symptoms- what could this be- i'm scared!?!


Question: Strange symptoms- what could this be- i'm scared!!?
About a week ago I started to develop a very noticeable lump on the front of my neck, all around the collar bone area!. It's very noticeable and surrounds the whole front of my neck!. I thought it could be a goiter but I get plenty of Iodine so that can't be!. I also have severe tightness in my throat, and it's getting hard to swallow!.
I did make a dr appointment for this afternoon, but i'm really scared!. My aunt died of thyroid cancer in her 30's, and now i'm 32, and I just want to know do you think it could be something else!? Do other conditions cause these symptoms!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
