Hi. Been a bit of a rollercoaster lately. A friend spotted a lump in my throat about 6 weeks ago. Since then, been to the doctor, Seen the endocrinologist, who done a biopsy. The results came back after 2 weeks, basically suspicious, I think he said. I didn't really take everything in that he was saying. So just nodding my head most of the time. I've been booked in for half my thyroid to be removed, in about 6 weeks. I didn't really ask any questions, so I thought I would ask on here. What are the chances that it could be cancer based on the quickness of my appointments and surgery dates? Has anyone else had similar experiences and is the removal, just precautionary? Sorry if this seems like a daft question. Thanks
Hi Bonesy and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
As I've had different types of cancer I don't know how likely it is that you have cancer if you're having half your thyroid removed, so I'm going to tag my friend barbaral and, if she's around and can help with your question, I'm sure she'll pop on.
