Hi everyone back in December I went to see the doctor because i could feel something in my throat when I swallowed. anyway to cut long story short he sent me for a ultrasound scan on my thyroid which revealed to 3 cm nodules on each side of my thyroid the doctor who did the scan said it might be cancerous, anyway I had a biopsy done and it came back Benign I got another phone call to say they want to do the biopsy again because there was an error with it anyway I had the biopsy last Wednesday and it’s been a week now and I am just waiting for the results.the cytologist was there when they did the ultrasound and biopsy and she mentioned I can see follicular cells to the radiologist.
Just wondered if anyone knows how long biopsy results take. The doctor did say he would ring me though
Thanks,yes I think waiting is the worst. Once you know you can deal with it.
I had to wait 2weeks and the consultant called me with the results. Waiting is definitely the worst bit!
The hospital have just phoned and they have come back benign which is good news. I have to have a repeat biopsy and fna in 6 months though.
That’s great news for you
Time to relax now ! X
