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.)

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?

Hey, good to hear from you and glad you are ok. I'm going crazy waiting. 3 weeks to go until surgery. Have they given you an appointment to go back for your results? 

Hi. I'm doing fine. I responded to your post in the other thread and yeah, didn't have that exact issue but did have some difficulties with my voice for a couple of months after the surgery. One of my colleagues was a bit concerned actually when I went back to work. She asked what was wrong with my voice and if it was permanent. It wasn't.

Scaredandneedsupport, best of luck with your surgery. Three weeks will pass more quickly than you think. Let us know how all goes.
