U3 classification and THY3f FNA result

Hello,

this is my first time posting here, i recently received U3 classification on 2 nodules in my left and right side, the left side FNA came back as THY2 but the right side came back as THY3f and surgery was on the cards.

however my case went to the multi-disciplinary team and the radiologist disagreed with the U3 classification and said he would have graded them U2 in classification, they are now recalling my biopsy results to look at them again, how likely is it that they will get a different reading?

the whole thing is stressing me out.

  • Hi karen.m44,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can understand this must be confusing and I'm sure the back-and-forth isn't too helpful in terms of any worries.

    I'm not too sure how likely it is that they will get a different reading. Once you hear back again, you should have the opportunity to speak to your doctor for them to explain any decisions taken. If you have doubts or concerns at this point, you can always ask for a second opinion.

    I hope you hear more soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
