yup, i got myself a fantastical 1.5 cm nodule on my thyroid. i had been stalling on my yearly thyroid check because i HATE getting blood tests since i had my Port-a-Cath removed after i went in to remission from ITP. i finally buckled down, got the blood drawn, went for the ultrasound and followed up with my new doc. i actually like this guy, he takes a lot of time to explain everything throughly and is hilarious when he says "ok, so when i do the biopsy, i need you to not be wearing your....*insert long pause while he looks a the ceiling*...ummm, collar? Necklace?"
So, July 2nd, i get to go have a needle stuck in my neck. Fun! :-) i'm actually not worried about it. i've had the nodule for a while (since 2002) but "they" think it's a bit bigger - which is not necessarily something to worry about. Of course, right now all i can feel is my neck! i can feel the lump! i can! NO, really, i can not. Not at all. Ridiculous and amazing what acrobatics the mind is capable of, no?
