Just found out I have 5cm nodules help

Hi, I have had under active thyroid for 37 yrs and goilter, this year I have had swelling on my next come up. I have found out after having a ultra scan I have 3 5cm nodules, coupe of small nodules and couple of cysts. I'm now referred to a specialist, I am really worrid incase it is cancer I know I probably have to have biopsy and operation, I have had night mares and it has triggerd my ptsd, what shall I expect on my first appointment with the specialist 

  • Hope it goes ok for u please let me no how u get on, 

    u sound really busy with all the diff hospitals

    when u had the needle biopsy how was it? I'm dreading it if I'm honest also how was the operation? Iv been told I have to have whole of thyroid out 

  • Storkie81  ..  how are you  have u a biopsy date yet and hope the scan was OK Friday xx

  • Hi how are you? 
    mum ok thanks the scan was ok apart from the feeling I was wetting my self lol the side effect of the dye they put in,

    havnt got a date yet for the biopsy that I'm not looking forward to at all

  • Hi 

    I found the needle biopsy to be fine a bit like an injection so please don't worry abou to that.

    Had yet another visit to hospital on Fri as I'd seen GP over hearing difficulties in one ear so was sent to ENT. After tests there is no reason as to why, all they said was there could be a possibility it's due to nerve damage during op and should sort itself out over time.

    Just waiting for my dates to have radioiodine treatment so another stay in hospital to look forward to as they won't do it as a day case.

    Onwards and upwards and take care.

     

     

     

  • Hi hope your ok and the problem does fix it self, sorry you got to have another stay in hosp will that be for long? 
    stay strong  

  • I really don't no how I'm feeling any more, Iv just been left hanging not knowing what's going on, I had a bad experience last week with the dr and nurse who was doing the FNA in my thyroid, they spoke about me if I wasn't there! The nurse even said 1 of the nodule or glands is cancer but used another word, dr wasn't botherd I was there and more happend then dr refused to do the biopsy she said it would come bk inconclusive! So now Iv been assigned a nurse (key worker) she's lovely and reported what had happend and got my another appointment for the biopsy and the dr couldn't be any nicer to me and professional, I could have got all the results last Friday if it wasn't for that dr refusing! Now hopfuly I get results this Thursday, but on top of all my feelings I'm now thinking it's the worst cos I have been assigned a nurse, just feel like giving up and telling them to forget everything 

  • I'm so sorry to hear how you have been treated I do hope you are made to feel a little better about things this week   please let me know I have been thinking about you x

  • My key worker nurse has been lovely and brilliant she came with me to have the biopsy and said if anything I need I can talk to her, all I want is answers not saying I will be ok with what ever the results say but it's the hanging on the not knowing, and now I have been assigned a nurse makes me think it's cancer, thank you I will do 

  • I don't know if this helps but someone I work with got a letter from macmillan and a phone call assigned nurse after a camera appointment but she was a cancer nurse assigned to her but she hasn't cancer just needs more tests as they think muscles in bowel  hope you have a big smile   thur xx

  • Oh really so she has been assigned due to her health issues and tests? That does make me feel a bit better thank you, thank you fingers crossed it's all good Thursday, sorry for moaning I find it hard to talk and let out emotions etc
