Thyroid Cancer Biopsy

Hi!  I had a biopsy done after a partial thyroidectomy and my results came back as showing no malignant features.  The ENT said there was further testing being done for some rare forms, but not too be worried.  It just takes longer for those results as it's a large sample.  Has anyone gone through this?  Should I be concerned?

  • Hi SBrown and welcome to the forum.

    It's great that you've received such good news from your results but I can understand your concerns about further testing being done.

    I know this is always easier said than done, but try not to worry about this too much if you can, especially as what your ENT has told you sounds quite reassuring.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will share their experiences with you soon but if you'd like to discuss this with one of our cancer nurses they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
