I have had multi nodule goiters (left and right) for several years. Was even part of Elation Trial many years ago. Had lots of probing over the years but always ultrasounds. A few months ago I had a very bad Throat virus and  breathing problems (at night). I got over it, scary but a few weeks of no sleep and changing pillows (4 times) I thought I was OK again.

Went for pill review (BP) and mentioned to Dr what I had been through. She felt my neck and referred me for an ultrasound just to check. I have had many of these over the years and all have come back benign. Only when I got there I was down for a CT scan with dye. My co sultant had requested it.

That was two weeks ago and yesterday Friday I had a phone call asking me to see the consultant on Monday morning. I am petrified.

  • Only a small percentage of goitre nodules are cancerous, no point in worrying, probably routine, try to keep occupied.

    Welcome to our little community

    That was two weeks ago and yesterday Friday I had a phone call asking me to see the consultant on Monday morning. I am petrified.

    You are bound to be scared but all you can do is keep occupied with things you like to do, get out into the fresh air and do something outside. Fingers crossed there isn't much wrong but if you need us there are lots of folk here to talk to.

    Good luck
