Thyroid

Hello. I'm new here, I have not been diagnosed of anything yet. I saw my doctor today as I've had a swelling in my neck for about a month now with a sore throat and over the last couple of days I've started itching. I'm booked in for blood tests today and he said I will need a scan. I'm terrified it could be some kind of thyroid cancer. Has anyone else had the same symptoms. Thanks x

  • my dad has cancer 5 years ago nearly, convinced it was a cyst and when they removed it it was actually cancer. I'm more terrified of that, than a diagnosis tbh. It scares me that could happen to me. 
     

    Oh gosh that is not as urgent as you'd want :(( I'm so sorry to hear that. Fingers grossed everything goes well x

  • Hi hun.  Sorry you have not been well It's a worrying time. Sounds like things have changed quickly for you. I hope your scan goes well today and you get some idea as to what is going on, do you think they will tell you today what it could be with it being a  private appointment. I have my scan on 2nd July I kept ringing everyday to  see if they had an appointment for me. I know it's hard but we have to try and not worry im so happy that you have parents willing to pay for you to go private. wishing you all the best . Please let's know how you get on. 

    Stay strong ,stay safe .Xx
