hemithyroidectomy

HI , 

just wondered if anyone had simalar experiance 

I found a lump in my right thyroid around 20 weeks ago now, i was ref to the ENT on an urgent 2ww referall , i was seen and given an FNA ultrasound which came back as no malignant cells seen ? im guessing u2 . consulatnt was happy to leave me however due to the size it was causing dysphiga and it was crushing my windpipe im 3 weeks post op today and still havejt even been told what they have taken out sick note says subtotal thyroidectomy and i signed consent form for right side hemithyroidectomy for compressive symptoms. 

the lump was sent off for testing and i have results and follow up app on monday i have a gut feeling these will come back as cancer i have probably worked my self up though.

 

any one else had a benign result and once taken out confirmed as cancer ?

  • Hello Lozza3287

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had surgery to remove part of your thyroid. I know that many people here will understand how difficult this period of waiting for results can be and it's natural to feel anxious. Hopefully, the appointment on Monday will bring some positive news and reassurance for you. 

    In the meantime, if you'd like to talk things through with one of our team of nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
