Thyroid Scan

I had a Thyroid Scan on Mon 10th. My anxiety was already through the roof. I was told at the Scan that I had nodules on my Thyroid. Due to my raised anxiety my Dr pushed the results through today. They are unsure of 1 of the nodules and I have to wait for app next week for another Scan and a biopsy. And my Anxiety and thoughts on my head is all over the place.

  • Hi there and thanks for the post

    We appreciate that undergoing tests and waiting for tests can be an anxious time for most people, but try and take things one day at a time for now.

    Thyroid nodules are common and even when a closer inspection is needed it doesn't automatically mean it's anything serious or something to worry about.

    Keeping yourself busy with other things can help to distract the mind and pass the time, so do try and make sure you have plenty in the diary.

    It is also important to look after yourself by eating a balanced diet, exercising and keeping some good sleep.

    Anxiety UK and MIND have some useful information and tips to ease anxiety so take a look.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
