Hi there Avemaria and thanks for getting back in touch

It must be very frustrating for you in the time it is taking for you to get more information about your situation.

Thyroid nodules and abnormalities are graded from THY1-THY5 according to the features that are seen. THY3 is then divided into THY3a and THY3F which stands for follicular lesion. THY3F lesions are at a greater risk of being cancer than THY3a but more tests will be needed to confirm this as many will still be benign ( not cancer)

I hope this helps but ultimately the waiting game continues and it is only the doctors involved in your care who can confirm what is or isn't going on in your care.

Take care

Naomi

Thank you for your reply much appreciated 

please can you tell me what kind of tests I will be possibly referred for 

I’m hoping I don’t have to have another FNA as the last was painful 

I know I’m asking a lot of questions but it’s all taking such along time and seem to have not got any further with outcome . Thankyou

We're in a similar boat. I had an FNA biopsy and the result was THY3a.

Then a follow up FNA biopsy six months later with the result of THY2. The nodule hadn't changed in size.

I've got a follow up ultrasound in February. They are unlikely to do another FNA biopsy but will be looking to see if the nodule has increased in size.

The reply by nurse Naomi is very helpful and confirms my own research.

I'm putting my trust in the doctors who are monitoring me. Sometimes, I understand that they have to actually remove the thyroid before they can establish whether it's a cancer or benign.
