I posted about this last week. I will the background short here.
Last week my wife went for her annual physical. Her TSH level was high, which I later learned means your thyroid isn't working properly. She also has a swollen lymph node on the back of her neck (under ear). The Dr ordered an ultrasound of the thyroid. She had an ultrasound of the node done 3 weeks prior. It has been there for 2 months, so the Dr was going to biopsy it to be safe.. but he decided to wait for u/s of thyroid. She also had some blood in her urine. Although, thinking back, when she did the urine test she had just finished her period.
She went for the u/s last Thu. She got nervous, because it took a long time and she thought the Tech looked nervous. At the end, he left to go to talk to the Radiologist, at which point he came back and said she could go home.
We saw our family Dr yesterday for our kids checkups. He didn't have the results yet, and said it could be at least a week.
I am going nuts waiting!!! To top it off my wife has symptoms like sometimes feeling like she is choking. I was hoping that it was anxiety, since it isn't constant. But what if it is more serious?
How do you guys cope with waiting? Everytime I try to distract myself, and feel good for a bit, my mind comes back to it. And I even get mad. Like why is this happening? I went through my issues last year, why do we have to go through it again?
