All that glitters

more of this crap next week... only my nodule is about 4 times that size.

doc wasn't satisfied with the results.
"it could be a lymphatic cyst... but those aren't really common. And I don't want to cast aspersions on the surgeon's skills, but if he had missed the nodule and hit a lymph node instead, we'd have gotten the same results.... I'd also like to be sure we're not looking at a lymph node that the expanding thyroid might have wrapped around. We want to avoid cutting out a healthy lymph node if we can"

healthy? lymph nodes aren't supposed to be that big.

oh well.. more glittery needles...

I've always had issues with people touching my throat. A shot in the arm... no problem. Any where else... not happy. My neck?? can't I be asleep for this shit?

So sorry you are going through this. I had a fine needle biopsy to determine if a nodule was a tumor. It was. So, surgery to remove the thyroid on that side. Fortunately it was benign otherwise I would not be here to talk about it. It is a crazy procedure. I tried to watch but then got too unnerved. My thoughts are with you.
