Hi! I had 1/2 my thyroid out for a biopsy 4 weeks ago, my surgeon said I would have a follow up appointment 4 weeks so rang the hospital to see where I’m at, they said the biopsy has now been sent to Christys for a second opinion and waiting on their result.  so now I’m thinking the worst ofc. can anyone tell me if they have had similar happen to them and had a positive outcome? I have a 2 year old son and looking after him and having the surgery first time round was hard work just praying it’s not bad news. Thanks 

  • Hey sorry your going through this! It's the absolute worst waiting for results anyway and when they take longer than said well sooo much worse!

    I had to wait 7 weeks for my results from my full Thyroidectomy, they said 3-4, I rang after 4 was told staffing issues, then again at 5-6 and told they had sent it out to a third party, found out at 7 weeks and I knew because my CIN wouldn't tell me anything on the phone and got me in to see him mid clinic appointments in his breast clinic so I knew it was bad news, but I was already armed with loads of information and thankfully mine wasn't the literal worst diagnosis I could have got so although hearing "cancer" because of the biopsies which were suspicious I informed myself of everything so I was grateful it wasn't worse!

    Sorry I didn't give you any positive news there but honestly it could still be ok, they could just want a check as other results may not match up with what they see etc.

    I wish you the best news Pray
