the other month while prodding my neck i saw like a 'lump' so i went doctors and they had a feel and said it is ok but would send me for an ultrasound.
the ultrasound letter has come back and said 'ultrasound of thyroid'.
so here is the problem: im scared that what i saw was not part of the thyroid and they will miss the 'lump' so i was going to ask at the ultrasound appointment for them to scan my whole neck although if they say no my health anxiety will get much worse because i will know for sure that 'ultrasound of thyroid' means just that and the rest of neck is NOT checked.
or should i just trust the doctor have the test and try and relax .........this way i can hold on to the hope that they may be checking everything anyway.
thanx guys
