Biopsy results

Currently waiting for biopsy results done on thyroid (app this Thurs) and the wait has been some what been testing (2 wks for results).

Today I get a call stating im scheduled for surgery next week and need a CT scan before hand. I told person who rang I had yet to have review and she said oh all will be discussed then.

My mind has now gone into overdrive. Have they found something as they did say suspected cancer or are they removing as the 3 lumps, 3cm in size are causing other issues.

Was in work and on a coffee break surrounded by colleagues when I received the call and due to the shock failed to ask the appropriate questions.

I haven't told my girls yet until I know exactly what it is I'm dealing with as I don't want to worry them as im a single mum.

Things are moving so quickly my head is in a spin.

 

  • Hello [@rachel25][@DeeDee46]‍ It's been ages. How are you both? I've been really meh struggling with ALL the symptoms of low thyroid but without the blood tests to back it up so I'm struggling to be heard. I now have a small swelling on the right side of my thyroid and a slight huskiness in my voice so I'm just keeping an eye on it. How was treatment for you both? I hope you are both on the mend and doing well xx

  • Hi [@CazStu]‍. Did you get the pathology results from your partial thyroidectomy? Did they start you on levothyroxine? Ask your GP to do your thyroid bloods to check. 
     

    My recovery has been long!! I had my radioactive iodine treatment and my scan came back clear which is great but I have to go for another scan in October. I have also been diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism, so that comes with it's own complications. My skin has reacted so badly to all of this so I am now getting light therapy. It's been a long road to recovery but im getting there x
