Can you explain differences

avemaria

Been researching 

and reading about the FNA biopsy I had on thyroid 

both came back inconclusive but the last one said THY3 

but there seems to be conflicting things about this results one article I read say thy 3 was

more worrying than THY F but then anorher said the opposite 

sorry to be going on about this but it’s been since June and I’m not really getting any where but should hear about another scan in Feb hoping this will give me more answers 

thank you

    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.
