She told Mail Online: "The doctors laughed at me, called me vain and said it could be removed - but the plastic surgery would be considered.
"But you know your own body, and if something is wrong and I refused to give.
"It is purely my stubbornness, which saved my life."
Miss Radelius from Sweden and now lives in London, noticed for the first time, the growth when I was 18.
"I woke up one morning and I noticed a huge lump in my throat. I was worried, and I began to study what it was.
"Although it was not painful, it was more than 3 cm in size. Later began pushing my vocal cords, and I began to sound rather harsh.
But despite multiple medical appointments concerns of different doctors in Sweden were rejected.
"Since I was young, healthy - and I do not have a history in difficulties or illness in my family had - me simply not serious, he said.
"One doctor even told me it was very common for young, hormonal women have lumps in my throat, and I back in two years, if it has not been" natural ".
Miss Radelius (image after surgery) first observed growth when I was 18, "Although it was not painful, it was more than 3 cm in size. Later began pushing my vocal chords and I started to sound pretty harsh"
"But I insisted that it was wrong for a young woman who inexplicably has a large part in his throat, and my intuition told me that something was wrong.
"I felt something strange in my body. I did not like what it was, I just wanted to left.
"A doctor told me it could be done, but it would be" pure vanity, "he said.
Determined not to be fobbed off, convinced that they perform a biopsy, doctors - but even then it was done wrong and the results were negative.
"All the time, (and there were many), most doctors I've seen, treated me like a hypochondriac young naive not to know how your own body I was too inexperienced with life, she said.
Finally, Miss Radelius, now 26, found another doctor who decided to remove the growth.
"However, he added that cosmetic surgery would be considered.
"The whole time, which was treated as a completely harmless and safe."
After the piece has been removed, tests showed Miss Radelius suffering from a papillary thyroid carcinoma - the most common form of the disease, the women and the youth beat tends
It is only when the mass was sent for tests - a standard protocol for a growth removed - caused the devastating truth.
The ball was actually benign thyroid carcinoma - and Miss Radelius probably had the disease for a decade.
She said she could not believe what I was hearing. It was a very traumatic situation not helped by the doctor is done.
"No one apologized for me not to take it seriously."
The tests revealed Miss Radelius suffering from a papillary thyroid carcinoma - the most common form of the disease, the women and the youth tend to strike.
Usually grow slowly, it can spread to the lymph nodes in the neck or in the vicinity.
Although the disease often has no symptoms in the early stages, a bump, fatigue and hoarseness are common signs.
In retrospect, said Mrs. Radelius, but by so long that they had become, he had many of them suffered the disease "normal".
"I was at the age of eight to 18 you feel tired and depressed, so I thought it was normal to feel that way.
"It is only now, in retrospect, I can see before looking for the song that I do. Depression for years and is a common side effect of thyroid disease"
Surgeons confirmed that she would need a second round of surgery to remove the thyroid completely - followed by treatment with radioactive iodine.
Given the size of the tumor, the type and speed of growth of the cancer, the surgeon felt began to grow when he was eight years old.
Now dependent on medication for the rest of his life for thyroxine, the hormone produced by the thyroid gland.
She said she had cancer as a young man was "terrible for many reasons." You must be aa serious illness to a certain point in your life where things are already hard to do, he said. "They are the only people that help can not believe, and should take things seriously"
Eighteen months after the discovery of the lump, was awarded the contract, and decided to take control of your life.
"I felt that life was too short, so I packed my bags and moved to London, where I always dreamed of.
"I built a new life from scratch, and he began the study worked for one of the largest accounting firms, where I currently work and studying for my professional qualifications.
"Looking back on my experience, my first piece of advice for young people in the fight against cancer, or think you may be affected, to sit still is.
"If you feel something is wrong, and dare say, a treatment that you deserve.
"You know your body better than anyone and even if someone says that some of the symptoms are" normal ", you know your body better.
"I know it's easier said than done, but if I could not I have been afraid, either with the" cosmetic surgery "comment incompetent doctor, or I would be a few years before he waited again - and it may be too late. "
