Thy3f cancer diagnosis

Hi. This is my first time posting here. I really hope someone can help.
 

After a diagnosis of ME/CFS, I was given more tests and some nodules were found on my thyroid. I had a FNA and my results paper categorises them as Thy3f. 

 

A few days ago I was told it was cancer and to wait for surgery but everything I look at online suggests Thy3f is indeterminate (which means they can't be sure) so I don't understand why I've been told I have cancer?

 

Does anyone know if this is correct? Can you be given a diagnosis of cancer from an indeterminate result? 
 

Thank you so much

  • Hello Sophiewren
    I'm sorry to hear that you've needed an FNA recently and as a result the Consultant has given you this news. It sounds as if it's been a confusing time for you. 

    It might behelpful for you to talk things through with one of our nurses. I'm sure that they will be able to answer some of your questions and give you some advice about discussing your concerns with your Consultant if you're still unsure about things. 

    You can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    I hope that you have som clarification and answers soon.
