Swollen Lymph Node in left side of the neck. Could this be a sign of Thyroid cancer? Please Help!?

I’m a 16 year old male, I’ve had swollen lymph nodes before but they were worse than they are now and they went away. Right now, my left lymph node is swollen. It doesn’t really hurt, but I can feel it’s swollen whenever I turn my neck or lay down in bed. As I said it doesn’t really hurt, but it’s bothering me and now I’m worried. I AM a Hypochondriac, I’ve self diagnosed myself before with HIV, prostate cancer, a brain tumor, etc.. I was tested for all of them, and all test came back negative. I am taking Zoloft, and it’s helping. But whenever spring/summer comes around my Hypochondria gets really bad for some reason. Now I worried about Thyroid cancer. Could one swollen lymph node be a sign of Thyroid cancer? Please Help!

Can someone please translate this medical report? Could this indicate cancer? Lymph problems?

The adrenal glands are normal in size.The kidneys are not obstructed.There are no significant renal masses. There are no dominant renal stones. There is a peripelvic cyst on the left measuring approx 12mm. There is minimal aoritc calcification. There is no aneurysm. There are a few shotty periaortic lymph nodes in the infrarenal region.

The small bowel loops are normal in distribution and appearance with no signs of dilation or wall thickening. There is no ascites. There is no free air. There is a small hiatal hernia. There is mucosal thickening questioned through the GE junction. There was no discrete mass and EGD study is suggested to exclude malignancy here. The lung bases are clear with no infiltratesor effusions. There appears to be wall thickening of the terminal ileal loop, as it inserts into the cecum. The wall here is somewhat succulent. The mucosal folds are featureless.This is probably a terminal ileitis. There is no fluid or inflammation surrounding soft tissues. Prostate gland is enlarged, however, there is no discrete dominant mass.

This is in regards to prostate cancer. If the lymph nodes are involved, could this cause swelling of the leg f?
