Hi,

I'm in a slightly different situation, have a U4 solid nodule and waiting to see if I can have surgery. Taken from end of Dec to now and waiting on the outcome of mdt meeting. Had an inconclusive FNA and a core biopsy which said the lump was consistent with a benign lump but also malignancy can't be excluded. Have you had a long process so far?

Hi,

I'm in a slightly different situation, have a U4 solid nodule and waiting to see if I can have surgery. Taken from end of Dec to now and waiting on the outcome of mdt meeting.

I had my scan in the first week of December 2021 and now I am booked for surgery in the first week of April 2022. 

FNA are most of the time inconclusive and just delay the process. I am surprised that your core biopsy was also inconclusive. Let me know your MDT outcome.

Take care!

Thank you. I will do. I think it might be because it's a follicular lump and some of the stuff I read said they can't truly tell until it's been taken out. I'll let you know how the appointment goes. Take care too. How long from them saying you could have surgery did you have to wait to actually get the operation date? 

I've been put on the list for surgery. They said 70% chance of benign. Up to a 3 month wait. Hope it's not that long though 

Thanks for the update. Are they planning total thyroidectomy or lobectomy for you?

Fingers crossed and hope it's a benign nodule.

Thank you. Pretty sure it's lobectomy. It was a telephone appointment and as soon as he said surgery I was like yes please. I think my core biopsy was equivalent of thy3f. I feel it's going to be a long 3 months. I find it strange I was on the 2 week referral but now it's come to the surgery they said I'm not a suspected cancer patient and so you have to wait the 90 days. Fingers crossed that's true though and I don't have it

 Now, let's forget cancer and try spending some quality time with friends and family.

Good idea :)
