Welcome to the Cancer Chat ScaredandNeedSupport.

I'm so sorry for the stress and worry this is causing but I hope the support you've been receiving from our members on other discussions within the community has been helping you get through the days and calming your thoughts.

I hope this advice on how to cope with waiting for news will help keep your anxiety at bay as well.

Fingers crossed your results come through soon and you receive good news.

Kind regards,

Thank you Steph

Hi! How are you doing now? I feel we're in a similar situation with our U4s. This wait is the worst isn't it? If reassures me a bit that your people said U4s could only be 30% chance of cancer. Still high, but not definite! 

Hi, I had my core biopsy result, which was similar to thy3f. They said it's consistent with a benign lesion but malignancy can't be excluded. I have surgery in 2 and a bit weeks and praying for a good outcome. Hope you are ok. Do you have your appointment tomorrow? I've had severe anxiety for the past 3 months. Hoping and praying that it will be over soon and that I can move on from it.

Hey - yes I got my Thy4 results and am getting fast tracked - pre-op in the morning and full removal on Tuesday. Completely overwhelmed and fearing the worst. I totally understand you on the anxiety, I can't calm myself down even with the brilliant wise MargaretMary words of wisdom xx

At least you don't have to wait too long. The 70% benign is based on the biopsy result rather than the U4 part. Did you have blood tests all come back ok?

Hi - I had a thy4, did you have full throidectomy in one go and was it papillary in the end? 
thank you. Hope you are well now.

Hi Butterfly and welcome to Cancer Chat.

I noticed you were hoping to find out about Togepi's surgery and diagnosis.

Unfortunately they haven't been back on the forum since April last year so there is a chance they may not get back to you.

I really hope that won't be the case but if you don't receive a reply you're welcome to reach out to some of our other members on more recent discussions you find about this or you can start your own. To find out how, just click here.

If you have any further questions, you can speak with one of our cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very friendly, and will do all they can to help.

Kind regards,
