I went to the doctor on Oct. 22 for a usual checkup. I thought it would be the same thing. The doctor would tell me I am fine and come back next year. Well the doctor felt my neck again and said there is a small lump growing again. I just sat there quietly. My heart was breaking though. Once again, I had to go through tests to see how big the thing is and if the doctor will operate on me. I just recently got a new job and after hearing this, I thought I would scream. Throughout the next few weeks, I had to get out of work early to get some scans on my throat. I mourned remembering the first time I went through this hell. DA and my family comforted me telling me things will be ok. After getting the tests done, I went to the doctor for the results. The doctor checked me again then gave me the news. I don't have just one lump. There are a few small ones around my thyroid. He checked my history again then said that since the first one was benign, he wasn't worried about these new ones. He did tell me however to keep an eye on them and if they grew bigger and give me pain, I should give him a call. So for now, he said he will not operate on me. It gives me relief to hear I won't have surgery for now . What surprises me is that my thyroid is still functioning even though I have small cysts around it. I'm happy that I won't have surgery at least for now.
Bad news about the recent discovery but good news that it will not require surgery for now and that it is not affecting the function of your thyroid. You are in my thoughts and prayers and I am wishing you the best.
