Long story short; I had biopsy results back that suggested that I may have follicular thyroid cancer. My endocrinologist rang me and said that the usual procedure was surgery but then a second endocrinologist rang and said I didn't need surgery.
Was all a bit confusing but now I have an appointment with an endocrine surgeon next week, has anyone had something similar? I'm now fluctuating between the idea of having surgery and not having surgery.
Hi Kaspiansce welcome to the forum. Gosh no wonder you are confused and little wonder. What an unusual thing to happen for you. I would be tempted to have a list of questions for the Surgeon when you see them, explain what you have said here and ask for some clarity re the differing opinions. I can totally understand why you are fluctuating , however, I truly believe further clarity to make an informed choice. X
Hi GRANNY59,
Thanks for your reply, writing a list is a really good idea as it will help me feel a bit more prepared. I think it will be a relief to have the appointment next week as hopefully after, I will know what the plan is.
