Inconclusive biopsy.

Hi!

 I have been feel under the weather for a while now having headaches and swollen neck so went to the drs, he sent me for an ultrasound on my neck.

When I had an ultrasound on my neck they told me that I had lots of nodules but only one they were concerned about. They did a biopsy and told me I would have the results in two weeks.

When I was talking to my Dr he had told me that the results were not good and was told I have a goiter and the biopsy has come back with possible cancer, he told it's inconclusive thy3f.

For the headaches they sent me to ent an they put a camera up my nose an can't see an infectious but said the sinuses are slightly swollen. I have a spray for it an to take paracetamol and ibuprofen.

I have the thyroid ent now on Wednesday! 

I don't not really have a point to this post but I think I just needed to put it out there somewhere!

We have my husband 40th on Saturday and I know people will ask how things or how are you and with gritted teeth you say good. 

I guess if anyone else has had thy3f or goiter would like to share there experience I would be keen to hear about it.

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had a biopsy which has come back as inconclusive and you're now waiting on further tests. We know from posts here on the forum that it's not uncommon for thyroid biopsies to show these kinds of results and it can leave people feeling very anxious and worried until the next steps are known. 

    [@Sonj]‍ recently posted this thread about a thy3f result. You might like to read her thread and post a comment. I'm sure that she or [@MargaretMary]‍ (who has been through treatment for thyroid cancer) will post to share their experiences and words of advice with you. 

    In the meantime, if you want to chat with our team of nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. They will be happy to offer any advice, information, and support that they can. 

    I hope that you don't have to wait too long for your next appointment and that the Consultant is able to give you some reassurance. Do let us know how you get on.
