Hey,

I am going through similar. First found the lump end of Dec and have a date for surgery in May. I had an inconclusive FNA and then a core biopsy which the doctor interpreted as consistent with a benign lump but also malignancy can't be excluded. It's been an awful few months for me. I can't rest until it's out and I'm praying it's nothing sinister. They said 70% benign to me. It's 29mm and was U4 on ultrasound. How long has it taken you to get to this point?

Hey,

Sorry to hear that you're going through this too, it really is tough, isn't it? It can feel very lonely.

I had my first ultrasound in October last year, and surgery is scheduled for next week.

It's very reassuring that your doctor said that your biospy result is consistent with being benign, and that there is a 70% chance of it being benign - that's very high! Hold tight.

What was your initial FNA graded as? (eg. thy1, thy2 etc.)

My first FNA was thy1 inadequate sample. I think my core biopsy result is similar to thy3f but they don't give it a grading on the core one apparently. I hate this situation. I just hope and pray it's benign. I also got diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I found the lump. Not sure if I had post partum thyroiditis as I just had a baby last year. Hypothyroidism is also in my immediate family. I also swelled up the same side when I had my second corona jab. I'm hoping maybe the other stuff going on could have caused the lump but I don't know. I just hope and pray it's nothing bad and I can move on with my life. Fingers crossed for us both. It's given me extreme anxiety these past few months

Hey, are you going ahead with your surgery?

Hey, so my surgery is scheduled for Friday but I have a call with my doctor tomorrow as I had a few concerns. I feel like I can now feel another lump on the other side of my thyroid gland :sad: I'm not sure if I am just being paranoid, but I would like to get that checked before I have surgery - will discuss with doc tomorrow and see what they advise doing.

When is your surgery?

Hi,

I know what you mean about being paranoid. I went from thinking I have nothing wrong to everything. My surgery is second week of May. Can't wait to get it over and hope I can move on.

Good luck for tomorrow, let me know how you get on

Hey,

I know what you mean, I am definitely a hypochondriac now, and it sucks! I'm glad to hear that your surgery has been scheduled now.

Thank you so much for the good luck, I am so scared; I don't feel prepared at all, and have little time left now. I will try to report back on here once it's over. I'm really scared about the general anaethesia, and worry about the recovery process.

I know I will be the same. I worry about everything anyway! I've seen posts where people have said it's not so bad. Please do let me know. I'm sure it will be ok. Did you speak to your doc about the other lump? I wish the wait for my surgery was over. Hopefully the wait will be worth it and the result good x

Hey, how are you? How was the op?

Hey there, apologies for the late reply! I'm doing ok, thank you - surgery went ahead and I'm currently at home, recovering now :happy: Just a wait for the results now. How are you doing?
