Confused...thyroid lump seems to have grown

I had a biopsy in December. The consultant called yesterday and said biopsy didn't collect enough cells. He compared my two ultrasounds and my thyroid lump has grown from 4.6 cm to 4.8cm with increased blood flow in it within 3 months.
It is going to panel at the hospital to decide if they should repeat the biopsy or remove it and test. Has anyone been in this situation and does anyone recommend which would be the best option?

 

 

  • Hi there,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can understand this must be confusing. Hopefully after it has been discussed at the hospital, you will have an opportunity to talk it through with your consultant, ask questions and get any advice. This should help you to be able to make a decision.

    While I'm not able to advise specifically, if anyone here has any similar experience to share then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
