Hi Charlotte,

I’m glad to hear that your ultrasound went well today and that you are now waiting for results. Did they tell you when these might be ready, or are you waiting on a phone call?

Kind regards,

Hi everyone, 

An update a promised, I got called into the doctors at 6.30pm tonight (unusual) and was told that my lymph nodes look normal but I have a 2cm by 1cm suspicious hypoechoic hypervascular lump in my thyroid gland and there’s a possibility it could be cancer. I’m so so upset I don’t know what to do. 

I’m sorry to hear that and I know it probably won’t help but if it does turn out to be thyroid cancer I think it’s very treatable. My brother in law had it a few years back he was only in his 30’s but they removed his thyroid and he has been clear of cancer for a few years now.

Hi Charlotte,

I am sorry to hear this, but please bear in mind that the doctors are not sure yet. Do they plan to do any further diagnostic tests? Like Ramsay's brother-in-law, I have a friend who had her thyroid removed almost 25 years ago and, she is still hale and hearty and living life to the full.

We all get upset at the very possibility of having cancer, it's impossible not to, but please bear in mind that at the moment, it is still only a possibility.

Kind regards,

Hi everyone,

Since my last post I have seen the consultant and I am due for my biopsy on Monday with a thyroid specialist if they still are feeling the lump is graded as a ‘U4 - suspicious’ lump, then it will most likely be cancer. 

Ive been trying to do as much research as possible, but I am really scared, I’m scared I have had this for years and it has spread to my lungs, or liver, or bones and there’s nothing I can do but wait. Praying for this to be benign but I think I have already accepted the fact it isn’t. 

Even if it’s bad news, I want to at least hope that it hasn’t spread. Or the type of thyroid cancer isn’t severe, i know I mightn’t not be that lucky. 

I’m scared for me and my two children, one of whom is still breastfeeding, my whole world has been rocked and I’m scared.

Just want to wish you good luck for tomorrow. I’d have thought if it had spread you would have had many more symptoms by now. I’m just starting my thyroid investigations (had bloods done now waiting to see the haematologist clinic) xx

Hi Charlotte,

I am glad to hear that you have seen a consultant and are due to have a biopsy tomorrow. We all tend to think the worst at this stage and, the more research we do, the more we convince ourselves that this is the case. Fortunately, this seldom turns out to be so.

You are naturally scared, we all are at this stage, especially when there is a young family involved. You will have another scary time ahead of you as you wait for your results. Don't forget to ask your specialist when your results are likely to come back, when you attend your appointment tomorrow.

Thinking of you and hoping that all goes well tomorrow. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,
