Reply to "THYROID"

Hi everyone it’s been a while since I have given anyone an update of my situation. Since my last post I had done a lot of waiting and worrying about everything. In October I finally got to see the Ent specialist at first he wasn’t overly concerned about the ultrasound results because there was no calcification or suspicious activity. But because of the fap and the greater risk of cancer he had spoken with his colleague within the same office. They felt in the best interest of my care that they go ahead with doing a biopsy of the nodule in the thyroid. 

So then in November I had the first biopsy which came back as inconclusive and had to wait another 3 weeks to have a second biopsy done. I got my results back last night and they came back as suspicious follicular thyroid cancer.  I am scheduled to have surgery in January or February to have half of the thyroid removed. Once the tests are completed and find that it is follicular cancer they will remove the other side of the thyroid 3 months after the first surgery is completed. Not the news that I wanted to hear but at least I got answers and that is the most important thing that I could ask for a Christmas present.
