thyroid update

I had my biopsy Wednesday. It was the most nerve-racking experience. The procedure was painless. It was the idea that I was having a procedure done to determine if I have cancer or not. I love the doctor and PA though. They are great. They were able to drain the nodule. They said the test would probably not find any cells. It just looks like a cyst. They scheduled me an appt for 9 months from now. They put me on a synthetic thyroid pill call synthroid, vitamin D and B-12 because my blood work revealed I was low in both of those vitamins.

I left and it was flat. That night at the dinner table I felt my throat and the nodule was back! I was so mad. I called the next morning and they got me right in. They could not drain it this time and said it was probably a fresh blood clot. He told me to use warm compresses for a few days to see if it will go down. And that if it keeps filling up then we would have to remove it. He said he doesn't want to yet because it will leave a scar. To me that is not a big deal at all. That is the least of my concerns. So, the journey continues. Hopefully I will know the results by Monday.
