Hi,

Last Friday (27th September) I had an ultrasound on my Thyroid after suffering from a swelling and restriction since June this year, it was put under a general appointment however with the findings the Dr has told me that it should have been urgent. I got the call from my Dr on the Monday (30th) asking me to go in to discuss the results, the same day I received my biopsy appointment (Tuesday 8th October) through the post. I sat with the Dr whilst he made my referral to see a consultant, he told me it would be an urgent appointment, they called yesterday and I’m seeing the consultant on Monday (7th October). From the ultrasound results it appears to be u5 malignant, from it shape and size and it doesn’t appear to be filled with fluid. 

Everything is happening so quickly I’m 34 with 2 beautiful girls and a husband, obviously my girls no nothing of this find yet but my husband is equally as worried as me. I’m struggling at sleep at night and when I do I wake up with the sweats or panicking (unfortunately I suffer from extreme panic attacks!)

Has anyone else on here had a similar issue, would be good to chat to someone who fully understands how I feel right now, I have an amazing support network but nobody knows what to say right now. I’m trying to remain positive as I know the biopsy will give the definitive answer.
