7cm thyroid nodule

Hi, looking for some advice/reassurance. I noticed a large swelling on the front of my neck around 16 months ago. Have only just been for US yesterday and have multiple nodules on my thyroid and one large 7cm nodule. They took 3 biopsies and just to wait to hear from my ENT doctor. Of course mind is on overdrive and googling everything. Has anyone had anything similar? 

  • Hello Loza1402, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope you won't have to wait too long for your biopsy results and that you will soon hear from your ENT doctor.  I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting for these important results. 

    It's normal in a situation like this for your mind to be going into overdrive but try if you can not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The temptation to Google everything is inevitable but the best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. There are helpful tips on this page to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have had similar experiences before with thyroid nodules and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,

  • Hi Loza1402,

    I just wondered if you have any update on your situation and follow up appointments etc?

    I have a CT scan tomorrow following 5 FNA biopsies and my appointment with the consultant is on Monday. Freaking out a bit, so I think it would be helpful to hear someone else's story and experiences.

    Thank you in advance x
