Waited over 6 months to find out if my thyroid nodule is cancerous or not

This is all started when I went to an ENT appointment cause my face was swelling abit near the ears and cheek , they found out I had some type of blockage in my salavary glands which isnt really that bad but then they told me they found a thyroid Nodule aswell. I asked if it was bad and they couldnt tell from the scans if it was or not , Ive had blood tests , chest xray , 3 Fine need apsirations biopsies 2 core needle biopsies , 6 ultra sound scans yet Im still no where closer to finding out if its cancerous or not , Ive waited over 6 months without a clear diagnosis all my biopsies came back inditerminate and they just tell me they cant say for certain if its cancer or not I feel this is shocking service and if it is cancer well its not exactly going to be good if its continued to grow 

  • Hi tiredlad,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear you've been waiting so long for answers - I am sure this is difficult to be dealing with this continued uncertainty.

    I'm not sure if you have further appointments or tests planned but hopefully you'll be able to get the information you need soon. Do of course keep in touch with your doctor if you need more information about next steps, and also if you have questions about why they have been unsure up to this point.

    Wishing you all the best,
