Thyroid Goiter - normal bloods

Hiya, 

I'm just after other people's experiences and maybe just some reassurance as my head's a shed. 
I'm 30-years old and I found a lump on my neck a week ago that seems to be on my thyroid. Blood tests show values all in the normal range (I don't have specific values to hand) so they're not concerned about over or under-active thyroid issues etc. I had a camera up my nose to check my throat and all seems okay. The next step is a scan and biopsy (FNA). They've got me on the 2WW pathway. 

I've been a bit of a nelly and Googled and I've found similar stories to mine with some people who have later been diagnosed with thyroid cancer so am worrying a bit. 
I guess I'm just wondering what the likelihood is that this is what I have and how quickly will I know for sure a diagnosis either way. 

Thanks in advance

    Hello ShazziH,

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope you won't have to wait too long for your scan and biopsy results. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting for these important results. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
