Hi,
A friend pointed out a lump in my neck over 4 years ago when I was 19 which I followed up with visiting my GP and had a blood test whihc came back normal and an ultrasound that came back that I had 2 nodules on my thyroid which one was 1cm and other one was 1.5cm and with me having no symptoms we went for a wait and see approach.
2 month ago I noticed the lumps was getting bigger and suffering from other symptoms such as hoarseness, difficulty swallowing and breathing, hair thinning and fatigue. So yet again I visited my GP had blood test which was normal, then an ultrasound that shown the nodules had gotten bigger bother over 3 cm and shown that one nodule was suspicious.
I got referred to a ENT specialist with an urgent qppointment within 2 weeks which i went to on Tuesday as I needed a biopsy with one nodule being suspicious. The specialist examined me and also had a camera to check vocal chords and explained that I needed a biopsy as the nodule is U3/U4 and a CT to check chest area. But he stated there was no time to do it that day and that I would need to go back to get these done. Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it take to get an appointment for this?
Obviously I am worried as he explained why it looked suspicious for cancer and waiting for an appointment is making me anxious.
