Fna biopsy

Hi, i was wondering if anyone had a fna for inflammation only? Ive had hyper for 5 years diagnosed it went euthyroid during pregnancy 2018. Went slightly high after but has settled again now have within range. I notice a swelling left lobe and the dr sent me for ultra sound i had previous nodule on left lobe in 2017. Ultra sound showed no nodule but unexplained inflammation of the gland. The dr is sending me for a fna tomorrow but i dont understand why? Has anyone had a fna for just inflammation not nodule? 

Sorry for the late post going in the morning and cant understand why.

  • Hi Jem and welcome to the forum,

    I just wanted to check in and see how you got on with your FNA the other day. I hope it went well and you managed to get your questions answered but if you'd like to talk things through with someone then do give our cancer nurses a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will get back to you soon as well.

    Kind regards,
