I'm a 27-year-old guy with multiple lymph nodes, around 6-7, in my right neck. Had surgery attempted in 2018 but the surgeon said it was too risky to remove directly. FNAC didn't work just blood came out. Seen over 10 ENTs and oncologists but nobody can confirm if it's cancer or just fatty lumps. Spent all my savings on tests and consultations, no insurance for surgery, so I'm stuck due to finances. One surgeon warned I might lose my voice if operated on. There's also a small node on my right thyroid. It's been 5+ years no throat pain, night sweats, or cough, occasional fever but I eat fine. Any idea what this could be or what else I can do?

The ENT at RML Hospital did tests thyroid profile and anti-TPO were normal, but the ultrasound showed a 26x38 mm echogenic nodule in the right lobe. The FNAC came back as Atypical/Suspicious Follicular Neoplasm, Bethesda Grade IV. The doctor recommended surgery, but I really want to avoid it if possible since I'm the only earner in my family and cost is a big concern. What are my options?
