Hi,

is yours a U4? I have a U4, first fna has come back inconclusive and now waiting on results of core biopsy which I had last week. Anxiety is eating away at me. Sorry I know you are further forward in the process. 

Hi ya. 

The ultrasound showed u4 so had an fna which came back thy2 but they said it was hypoechoic and showed some feature so wanted it repeated in 3 months . Had the repeat fna and is now thy3 so now they said it's my choice wait and have repeat fnas and ultrasound or remove it. Really don't know what to do. How long will it be for your core biopsy results. 

I'm finding this whole process so difficult. I think if I was you then I would have to have it taken out as I'm a worrier anyway. I think if you look through some of the threads you might find some people that have had similar results. Sorry, I know I've not been much help to you. They said 2 weeks for results and I had it done last Friday. Keeping everything crossed. I feel like my life is on hold :(

I have been looking. So much conflict , you have the people who think wait and see is great as don't wanna live without their thyroid and others that have gone for removal and made 100% right choice as it was cancer. If only we had a crystal ball huh. How long do they think it will be until your core biopsy result. Do you have any symptoms etc 

I just found the lump end of Dec, had US end of Jan, first FNA Feb, then core biopsy last week. When I found the lump I had no other symptoms. Since they said it was suspicious, I keep thinking my ear feels a bit pressured and painful behind it but I also think my mind could be playing tricks on me. Also the stress I'm putting myself though I know isn't helping. I'm so scared I have cancer and that no one will be able to help me. I can't switch my brain off and I have a little baby. My blood tests showed I have hypothyroidism. The over thinking is making this so incredibly hard.

I know what you mean it is so tough the not knowing. But from what I've seen thyroid cancer does seem very treatable and the fact you had no symptoms could be a good thing. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for the biopsy results. I think I would had rather them tell what I have to do rather than give me the choice. It's tough I know but try not to worry too much you will make yourself feel worse with worry. I know I do somtimes

Thank you for being so kind. I know I shouldn't stress so much but I just can't help it. Do you have any symptoms? Did you find it hard to wait another three months for the next fna? Did they tell you on the thy2 what caused your goiter or what it actually was? Sorry for all the questions. 

No problems ask away, it felt like forever waiting but also it was delayed so it does make you nervous. I didn't have symptoms as such , I had all the lymph nodes in my neck come up and stayed up for a fair few weeks, the doc then sent me for a scan where they immediately were able to tell me my lymph nodes were all fine but came across this goiter that looked suspicious. I have children too and immediately I think it jumps in your head the worst and them. But I do think we have to try and stay positive and be thankful in a way they say that thyroid cancer is quite treatable if it is the wort outcome. I've read lots of other people's posts and different areas/hospitals seem to treat in different ways too

Hi,
 

Did you make a decision on surgery? I got my biopsy results back, they said it's consistent with a benign follicular lump but also that malignancy can't be excluded. I have to wait for the mdt meeting next week for next steps but I'm praying they just say surgery to take it out. 

Hi ya. 

I have said I will go for the op. I spoke with my family and we all agreed what isn't there can't hurt me. At least they are doing the most meeting for u . What part of the country are you. There is defo some differences on where u are it seems
