Newbie with Thyroid Nodules.. Really scared.

Hello all, last week I had an ultrasound which revealed two TR 4 Nodules suspicious for malignancy. One is in my lower right lobe 1.8cm x 1.4 cm and the other in my left isthmus 1.4cm x 1.1cm. I am having the big one biopsied tomorrow. My symptoms were for two weeks I felt a lump in my throat when I swallowed and sometimes would just feel like a pill was stuck in my lower left side of throat. For the last week I notice the lump more when I swallow and as of the last day or so it feels like someone is pressing a finger in my trachea or just alot of pressure there like someone is strangling me. Could this be related to my nodules or could there be more going on? I don't have any visible or palpable lumps on the neck. Should I ask for ct scan or go to an ENT to see if something else is there? Anyone else have these types of symptoms with their nodules? Any replies are greatly appreciated. Sabrina

  • Hi There - I have had a hourse voice for almost two months now and a feeling likeI have something stuck in the back of my throat for about 5 - 6 weeks. Ive been for blood tests, x-ray of my chest, consult with an ENT, a CT scan of my neck and chest and now Ive been told I need to wait for a MDT meeting ) a meeting bewteen various practitioners) - when I googled it it says this is to treat cancer - I cannot get anyone to say I have cancer or give me any diagnosis - I know how you are feeling - All I can say is I have a candle burning for me you and all the others that are now terrified and I do hopethat your biopsy goes well. Take care

  • Hi Jodib, thanks for your reply. I am so sorry you have been waiting for so long. The waiting without knowing is really the hardest part. I hope you get a call very soon. I am reassured by everything I read that even if it is cancer it is typically very slow growing. Maybe they know this? I would think if it was anything particularly aggressive they would have prioritized their meeting. What is the old saying no news is good news? maybe that is the case with yours. I sure hope so. Thanks for the well wishes, sending positivity and prayers your way. Sabrina
