What Are The Symptoms Of Cancer?

I was exposed to ionizing radiation during assisting physicians with fluroscopy procedures unprotected. The dr. did not give us thyroid shields and I became very sick. Hashimoto thyroid disorder and was told that I am at high risk at developing cancer within the next 10-15 years. The doctor never paid his bills so our badges (dosimetry) report was never accurate. I have had a lymph node biopsy before and it was benign. My platelets have elevated a couple hundred. I have a swollen lymph node on the left side of my neck. I am losing hair. Should I be worried at this point about cancer?
