1. Depends on the cancer. Thyroid cancer usually (almost always) will either increase or decrease the secretion of thyroid hormones, so if all yours are normal, I would say that most likely it is not thyroid cancer. Of course there is always a slim chance, it doesnt hurt to have your doctor do more tests if you think that is your diagnosis. Do what you feel is right, no one knows your body better than you do.
2. Doubtful as your wbc would be elevated. In addition to that your t4, tsh and t3 would probably all be out of whack.
3. Do thyroid disorders run in your family? Just curious. My daughter was diagnosed with thyroid cancer last year after having no symptoms at all - the mass was found during a routine sinus scan. I would suggest that you visit www.thyca.org Here you can find a wealth of information about the different types of thyroid cancer, treatments, etc. I have found this to be a very valuable resource. Good luck!
