Hello and thanks for posting

I'm sorry to read about your situation.

I know waiting to have tests and waiting for the results is stressful. Although doctors try and arrange scans as quickly as possible unfortunately, we cannot tell you exactly how long you will have to wait to have your CT scan as there will be some regional variations in different NHS Trusts.

But, if you don't hear anything in the next week or two, then do ask your GP to enquire, or ring the specialist/consultant secretary. 

There is no easy way to get through the waiting times, but many people tell us that keeping busy and sticking to a routine can help a little.

I hope you know more soon. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Celene

Hello

Thank you for your earlier response

Further to my biopsy I am happy to say the results were negative.

I have since had a ct scan where they have found a goitre and I have been referred to an ENT surgeon. They said it was possibly due to hormones or my thyroid gland. Awaiting review

They did say they saw no cancer but have seen a couple of small lymph nodes on my osophagus for which they have referred me for an ultrasound and said they want to keep any eye on them.

I imagine it will take some time for both appointments to come through.

Do you know what they might be looking for on the ultrasound for the lymph nodes and is this a separate issue to the goitre or could they be connected.

is there still a chance one or the other could become cancerous?

Thank you
