Hello. Where to start?! My daughter discovered a lump on her neck in February last year. Because of Covid and the scan department changing her urgent referral to non urgent, she didn't get an ultrasound scan until December, then had to have a biopsy beginning of January this year. 2 weeks ago my 18 year old daughter and I were told by a thyroid consultant that she had papillary carcinoma in her thyroid. We were told it came as a complete shock to the team as they weren't expecting that to come back in the biopsy report as she has overactive thyroid. Apparently having overactive thyroid and developing cancerous nodules doesn't really happen? Yesterday, we saw a thyroid surgeon, who dropped a bombshell and said he's not convinced it's cancer! Has anyone else had this situation where you've been told a biopsy may be wrong?? He's told us the only way he'll know for sure is to remove the right side of her thyroid, which he's hoping to do the middle of next month. It's seems so far away!! The last two weeks after initially being told it's cancer were hard enough, and now we're being told to wait even longer. I'm so confused and scared for my daughter.
