Hi.
I haven’t posted here for months, I’ve tried to resist the urge to post and feed the HA dragon but I’ve reached my limit and need to reach out.
so a month ago I started worrying for no reason about my thyroid, and started poking around my neck. I found a lump on my thyroid, went to the drs and was referred for an US and FNA, which I had today.
He found one bigger nodule where my lump is, about 2.6 cm, and a smaller one the other side that he didn’t say what size it was. Did a FNA on the big one, whatever was in it came out easily which he said is a good thing, but still sending samples to get tested. The word ‘benign-ish’ was used he said he could see the clear borders of the nodule, I don’t think he was overly worried but wasn’t as reassuring as they were at my boob ultrasound, where they didn’t even need to do biopsies, they just said ‘looks good’. He scanned my whole neck and apart from a benign looking lymph node that I can’t actually feel, didn’t have any concerns about anything else.I asked if he thought it was the really bad thyroid cancer and he said are you 80/90? And where did you hear about that? I guess that means even if it is thyroid cancer it’s not that one right?
but I’m freaking out now because anything over 2cm is suspicious in thyroid, isn’t it?? I can’t believe that all the other times I’ve worried it was nothing and I should have put my energy into this, because now I surely do have cancer
Have a horrible feeling they will ring me tomorrow or Friday and have me back in for bad news.
