Hi there I'm due to go in for partial thyroid surgery on Wednesday I had a fna and results were thy3f suspicious if follicular growth and I have to waitb10 days for results I'm very worried anyone else had this results and what was outcome

  • Hey. I didn't have that result but did have thyroid cancer - papillary thyroid cancer in my case - and had my entire thyroid removed. The good news (if there is any such thing in this situation) is that thyroid cancer is generally a comparatively "mild" form of cancer. Even if you do have thyroid cancer, it will probably just mean getting the rest of your thyroid removed.

    I've had no trouble. Just carrying on with my life as I was before the surgery.
