Thyf3 lump and pregnant. Has anyone else been through this?

Hello,

im 25 female and pregnant with my second child unfortunately I felt a lump at the begninng of the year which I'm unsure how long it has been there for. I went to the doctors but kept getting turned away as they couldn't feel anything. I left it a couple of weeks and went back as something was telling me this wasn't right. I see another doctor who referred me straight away. He sent me to have my bloods done which came back that my thyroid doesn't work properly at all and that it is under active so I started taking levothyroxine. I have previously got a call to say that I have apparently now got an overactive thyroid instead of under. But I have only had one blood test so I'm not sure how this has changed. I ended up going private as I was so worried and thought doing this may be speed it up abit more.

I had an ultrasound on the 11th April which is where they took a biopsy too as they could see a lump on my left nodule. I got the news that this looked sinister and was more than likely to be cancerous a day before my first scan 20th April which was very hard to take in as this is supposed to be an exciting time with sharing the news etc. but I'm just so worried as I now have someone else to think about as well as me.

I was told by the doctor that my biopsy came back graded thyf3 and that they would need to take it out for the lump to be tested to confirm whether it is cancerous or not and that it can be difficult treatment wise being pregnant that being said as I have turned 12 weeks today after 3 months he said it would be abit easier.

I just wanted any advice or maybe if they know of one that has gone through similar with being pregnant.

Thankyou
