I feel for you and your predicament. My situation is not too different to yours. I first went to my GP in Feb 21 complaining of a lump in my throat and not being able to swallow food properly. In fact I 1st reported it through NHS 111 who just told me to get some Lansaprizole tablets. Cutting a long story short, my GP referred me on under the 14 day rule. Since then I have had an, X-Ray, endoscopy, Barium Swallow, Ultrasound which then located a 3.4cm nodule on the right hand side of my thyroid, another ultrasound followed by a fine needle aspiration. The findings of which were inconclusive due to insufficient biopsy matter being collected. I now have to have another FNA done on 2and Nov. This is nearly 9 months since I first reported it. I don't know whether the Consultants are not concerned about the outcome but it is starting to worry me about how much time has elapsed since I noticed this and I still have no diagnosis. 

I hope that you are now at the other end of the tunnel and that your mind is at rest. Best wishes.

Hi Moleya,

There was a 7 month gap from when my lump was initially discovered until surgery. Generally these things grow slow. Have you noticed a more rapid growth in the lump or any change in symptoms?

Keep after them as I know that waiting is the horrible part. Hopefully you'll get an answer soon.

Sorry not sure how all this works. 

My Daughter who is 20 yrs old has recently had a fine aspiration biopsy done on her Thyroidand, it came back inconclusive. The size of the lump is 1.4 x 1.5 x 3.3 cm and classified as a u2/u3 suggesting a category as a Thy1c. We have been back today and they have given the option of having half the Thyroid removed or another biopsy. My daugher chose the latter because she really didnt know what to do. She struggles sleeping at night because it’s pressing on he windpipe and she has a hoarse voice. Really don’t know what to do because there saying It will be probably benign. But what if it grows bigger. It’s all very confusing. And it has took such a long time to get to this point. 

If it's causing breathing difficulties, it's going to have to be removed at some point.
