Hi,yes possibility of goiter or cancer is there,
But other symptoms like visible lump in neck in lump,or movable swelling with diglutination,weight loss,change in voice,is important,
From your symptoms I feel its vocal nodule,
In patients like you I advice laryngoscopy to rule out the causes,and carry out some blood test,
I think you should visit a ent doctor,and get your symptoms evaluated,
Hope this information helps.
