Thyroid

I have a tumour in my thyroid, I've had my scan and I'm seeing my consultant on Friday however my tumour has almost nearly tripled in size in the past 3 weeks. I'm really scared as I've been googling things and I've been looking at anaplastic thyroid cancer and I've really scared myself. Is it normal for a tumour to grow this quick?

  • Hello CPN123456789,

    I'm sorry to hear that you have a tumour in your thyroid and that it has grown quite a lot in size in a short amount of time. Unfortunately, I can't tell you whether this is normal. This is something that would be best to discuss with the medical team involved in your case so if you can perhaps it's a good idea to get in touch with them? While you wait though, if you feel that speaking to someone with a medical background might help, please know our team of nurses are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on this freephone 0808 800 4040 Monday - Friday.

    With best wishes,
