Biopsy Results

So thankful to hear this! It’s been a good day with good news (my brother’s lung nodule is benign as well).

I’m so glad it’s benign. It would be frightening to check your portal and see that things were NOT benign and you found out that way instead through your own doctor.

That is so great. Hope the rest goes as well.

I am so glad to know that there is nothing serious, You can relax now.

That certainly is good news Marie. I'm sure you were worried about the biopsy. Hope you hear from the doctor soon to see what course of action they want to take. Do you already take thyroid medication?

That's such good news, so happy for you. Waiting to hear back from the doctor can be nerve wracking but at least you know it's benign, that's the big win. Sending prayers your way for the next steps too.

Okay, remember, I'm not a doctor. I can tell you what happened with me when I was diagnosed with a nodule on my thyroid and was told it is benign. I go in once a year to talk with the endocrinologist. (You might go for exams from 6 months to 18 months.) They always give me another untrasound to check the size and appearance of the nodule. Thankfully, mine are very small.) Since it isn't cancerous, your doctor may take a wait-and-see attitude like mine is doing. IF the nodule grows too large and makes it difficult to swallow or breathe or leads to voice changes, then the doctor might schedule you for surgery to remove the nodule. Remember, please, this is what my Endocrinologist told me. You may have a doctor with different ideas. May I ask if you're taking Levothyroxine? If so, that may help keep the nodule from growing and may help your body get rid of the nodule by itself. IF you notice any changes, please call your doctor and ask for a change in how much medication you're taking and possibly for another visit. My doctor has let me increase my dosage twice when I was having trouble and called. I just had a new thyroid ultrasound and was told everything looks good at my current med level. If you feel like you need to talk about anything at all, please PM me.
