Hello everyone,

This is my first post in here so I'll explain a little about my background to start off. I'm 29 years old, wife to a wonderful husband and mother of 1 little boy who will be 2 in a few weeks and is my whole world.

I first noticed a lump on my throat back in January and went to my Dr who took bloods and sent me for an ultrasound scan. The bloods came back and showed slightly lower than average levels of T4. The ultrasound scan showed several nodules on my thyroid, some were fluid filled cysts, others were solid and more of a concern. 

From then I was referred to an ENT consultant (it ended up being almost 4 months on from my original ultrasound due to a mix up) for a second ultrasound which showed one particular solid mass that was a concern as well as the cysts they had previously seen. At that appointment  (which was only yesterday) they took a couple of different biopsies from the lump and also drained all the fluid from the cysts (60mls in total) so now I've just beven given an appointment for 4 weeks time to come back for the results.

I'm not sure at this stage how likely it is to be cancer/what they will do about the lump etc if it's not and I really feel so in the dark about it all. We are going on a family holiday in a couple of weeks and I feel like all I'll be doing is worrying about this so it would be lovely to be able to chat to others that are/have been in a similar situation to me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post :)
