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 there, have you heard back? Did they give you a different grading?

    i experienced something slightly similar but not exactly. I have 2 nodules on either side of my thyroid. First doctors did the biopsy of one nodule that they didn’t like - it came back as thy3f. MDT recommended hemi thyroidectomy. I was in total shock and asked for second opinion. In another hospital they didn’t check my nodule but were concerned about the nodule on the other side which came back as thy3f too. In that very day when I had the biopsy the radiologist and pathologist said to me your nodule looks benign to me. In couple of hours I got a different result. I really wonder how they reach a conclusion? Is it a matter of opinion? If so it’s very subjective. Because they identified two nodules with thy3f plbiopsy result - they now recommend TT. I’m devastated 

  • Hello, yes it was graded the same again THY3f and they removed it and it was cancerous, glad it's out now, I still have my left side and have lump in that one as well but was benign when they biopsied that. Honestly don't take any chances just get them out and get sorted, surgery is ok, takes a few days to recover and 2 weeks to fully recover but you'll be back in your feet in no time 

  • I’m sorry to hear it was cancer. Im glad to hear though that you receive quick!! 
    hiw did you manage to keep one side of thyroid? Did they do biopsy during the operation? My doctors recommended total thyroidectomy. I’m really scared of having to depend on a pill for life
