Hi,
Haven't posted for awhile as had loads on my plate. I was dix with Hyperthyroidism last year and have been taking meds since. Normally after a year on meds i was told if you hadnt got under contral then the next step would be Idonie Treatment. I had an ultrasound of the thyroid gland last year and they found a nodule. I then had a biops and the results inconclusive. They organised another biops(had to go in 4 times to get enough of a sample!!!) and i had that 3weeks ago on Friday next.
I had my Thyroid clinic appointment on Wed last and the Consultant was talking about Idoine Treatment for the first 30mins until i told her i had a biop 2 weeks ago. She looked up the results and said she had made a note for the other doc's to call her if they saw me in Clinic. They found Folliculliar Lesions in the biop that they took. I'm now waiting for an appointment to go in and get the Thyroid out. Decided to get full Thyroid out as if they go in and take the nodule and part of the Thyroid, they might have to go back in and take the rest so i felt that 2 ops would flare my Lupus (having headaches since 7th Feb as it is).
Everyone keeps asking me if i have Cancer!!I cant answer them as i didnt ask the Consultant straight out as i was in shock that i has to have surgery. My GP was very good but i still didnt ask her straight out either, think im afraid of the answer. I asked her if Lesions were the same as Cells and she said yes so it Follicular Cells that they found
Went a bit loopy on Wed and Thur, said what i was thinking straight out, normally i think about what i say before i say it in relation to the impact it would have on others (a trait of been a Caretaker) but this time i didnt. Normally i would say im grand and sur its only another thing but i didnt. Family members couldn deal with my change of how i deal with things and they went strange and they went on the defence.
Woke up on Friday and decided it business usual till i get an appointment for the surgery. I have an exam on Wed to qualify as an Information Provider with the Citizen Information so going to go ahead with that have been doing this course all year so not going to let this stand in the way.
Has anybody had this happen to them?
Any advices/words of widsom would be great or questions i can ask the surgeon.
