Hello I recently found a lump in my throat which was scanned and a biopsy was taken which has resulted in an inconclusive result. I am now due to have the right side removed on the 19th November. I’m not to concerned about the operation but I am a little anxious about the ever rising cases of The COVID virus in Essex area where I am based. My mum has requested I keep the kids of school throughout November just to be safe. They are all due to start back tomorrow. Please can you give me your thoughts.
kind regards
Hey Kat,
welcome to the group! I think it’s always better to be safe than sorry and if keeping your kids off school reduces the chances of catching it then that’s a good option. As for the lump, it may just be benign! I really hope your results are good, let us know how you get on! My thyroidectomy surgery went very well, I was only 25 and fit and healthy so had no issues and no pain at all in recovery, only stiffness x
