Last year I had a 13cm growth removed from my thyroid. It did contain a small carcinoma. I was told that there was a growth on the opposite gland but being a couple of mm they would leave it.
I can feel that it has grown and I had another scan a couple of weeks ago. Instead of seeing me in clinic I received a letter from my doctor saying that there are several nodules on the gland and the biggest is 1cm so they have discharged me as they dont believe that they are cancerous!
I have been angry, cried alot and Im frustrated. When the first carcinoma was removed they told me before hand that I did not have cancer, not until it was removed could they detect cancer. Then I was told that thyroid cancer is usually a secondary cancer. I have hereditory pancreatitis and have regular check ups as pancreatic cancer is a big killer in my family, we carry a gene for this. I have not seen my pancreatic doc for 3 years due to covid and because bloods are normal ny gp thinks all is ok. But from experience (both my own and family members) our bloods are alwys good despite cancer being present!
I dont know how to move forward and I am terrified that something has been left and missed.
