Thyroid nodule...inconclusive biopsy and possible surgery

Hi Everyone, 

I went to the doctors with a pulled neck muscle around 3 months ago and whilst she was examining me she found 2 swollen lymph nodes which she wanted checking out so I was referred for an ultra sound scan. Whilst having my scan they found a small nodule on my thyroid but was reassured that it looked fine but he would be mentioning it on my report. I was then referred to ent by my gp and the consultant there had a good look at my throat etc and seemed unconcerned but wanted the thyroid consultant to look at it. When I got to the thyroid consultant he seemed very concerned  and told me the nodule looked “abnormal” and was sent straight for a biopsy! After a a scary 2 weeks my results have come back as inconclusive and I have been given the option of another biopsy or to have it removed. Forgot to mention that my thyroid is also slightly over active and I have an appt with endricology in Nov. 

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? My anxiety is through the roof

  • hello all.. I’ve just had ultrasound scan this morning on my neck, It was a Dr that done it, he said I have a 13 millimetre nodule on my left side and that my right side and parathyroid glands looked ok, he wasn’t concerned as he said my margins looked nice ‍♀️. I asked him how long will the results take and he said he’s doing the report straight away explaining what needs doing, so no doubt I will get a phone call from my Dr next week. Surely they won’t just leave it will they as I want it removed as it’s affecting my voice and catching the back of my throat, got a terrible cough and get shooting like pains towards my ear my bloods were also normal
