The odds are it's not cancer. Only about 5% of nodules are and I don't think the doctor can tell anything just by looking at it. She's probably not saying anything much because there isn't anything to say beyond the fact that you've a nodule, as a large percentage of people do (I think it's around 20% to 40%).

And even in the off chance it is thyroid cancer, thyroid cancer isn't like many other forms of cancer. It is very rarely life-threatening. It is really just a matter of removing your thyroid. And I know that isn't exactly a "just". Nobody wants any form of cancer. But as a worst case scenario, it's really not as terrifying as it sounds.

Thank you. My GP gave me the impression that the radiographer would tell me more than she did. It just felt off in the appointment, she was really chatty and asking lots of questions and then suddenly went quiet and barely said anything after that. I am a terrible over thinker though, and possibly have made it seem much worse in my head.

I do know this. I’ve read everything you’ve said. I suffer a box with anxiety anyway and so my brain still goes to ‘yes but someone is in the unlucky % of people who do have cancer’ 

It also doesn’t help that I have a friend who’s husband died of thyroid cancer in his 40s.

It’s not looking great. It’s a U3 indeterminate. However it is high vascular and solid, and on the left lower isthmus - none of which are good things I believe
