Hi,
I had a thyroid mass and cystic neck lymph bode picked up at an unrelated MRI scan in July.
since then have had ultrasounds and biopsies x 2, ct, mri, pet scans and the usual bloods etc all of which has been inconclusive. Had selective neck dissection 2 weeks ago to try and get diagnosis. Apparently, lymph nodes where mine is are usually metastatic to a primary in tonsil or thyroid, neither of which showed on pet scan. Had been a very anxious 2 weeks( as well as the 7 months of investigations)and I go to oncology clinic in Edinburgh today for results.
Are there any questions anyone wishes thwy had asked, apart from the suggested ones on this site? Has anyone else been in this situation?
NHS has been great- have private health care but NHS was faster on all but one occasion
Thanks Rose
looks like I will be staying in the group. Much to the team’s surprise, results came back with papillary thyroid cancer
️Apparently it hasn’t been typical presentation at all and thyroid didn’t show any uptake of the radioactive glucose on pet scan.
It is such a relief, in a way , to have a diagnosis and can now go forward with treatment.
Hope Monday goes well for tou
Avril
