Hi!
two weeks ago i was sent for some blood work due to what i thought was low iron, i’ve had it before and am experiencing symptoms (tiredness, dizziness, heart palpitations so on) so i just wanted to check them to see if i should be back on the iron tablets or not.
When i picked up my form there was a whole list of other blood test on there, one of them being thyroid function (i’m not gonna lie, i’ve never even heard of that and didn’t really know what a thyroid is/does).
I had the blood test and a week or so later i thought i was getting tonsillitis and was feeling my neck to see if my glands were swollen, when i ran my hand down the right front side of my neck i felt a swelling which i’m pretty sure has never been there before. Booked in for a gp appointment the next day and he’s referred me for a scan on the neck.
got my blood results and they show my thyroid is over active?
Any one have any advice or any suggestions to help myself not worry that this is cancer, got my scan in 5 days, if they find something what are the next steps? i’m fully convinced this is the worst, i’m not usually one to worry but since having my little girl i’m a lot more cautious about my health as i’m the only active parent in her life…
