Concerns about Levothyroxine and Cancer Risk

Hello. I am new here. I am almost 60 yrs old. I've had hypothyroidism for 21 yrs/on Levothyroxine all this time. I recently found a lump in my neck & I have swollen lymph nodes in my neck & two lumps on my jaw. I've been reading that Levothyroxine can cause cancer. Has anyone else ever heard or experienced this? Thank you.

Thank you. Yes. That's what I was afraid of. I've had a nodule on my thyroid for yrs. I haven't had it scanned since 2018. Thank you.

I have Hashimoto's and I've heard that nodes on the thyroid are part of having Hashimoto's / hypothyroidism but it can turn into cancer.
