Thyroid biopsy.

Hi,

ive been waiting nearly 4 weeks (4weeks Wednesday) for my biopsy results! Is this normal?, ive had the lump for 3 years and they only biopsied it recently as it got alot bigger, ive had 3 ultrasounds over the last 3 years on it, when i went for my biopsy, there was 2 drs in the room at first looking at my scans comparing them to previous ones, they went in there atleast 10 mins before i was called in, they said it could “possibly” be ectopic thyroid tissue!? But my necks been hurting so much more recently and ive had other symptoms for the last 3 years! im riddled with anxiety over it and i have heard nothing back at all! Ive been ringing my drs who say i just have to wait! Anyone been through the same? 

thank you

  • I haven't had your experience but I did have thyroid cancer and I had no pain nor any other symptoms, so I wouldn't necessarily assume they make cancer likely. (I know thyroid cancer can cause neck pain, but it is also common for it to be pretty much symptomless and I suspect any nodule that is pressing on something could cause pain.)

    Hope you get answers soon and that it is something minor.
