Pain in the Neck
I finally got my ultrasound yesterday morning. It was quiet and painless - I didn't even notice that the probe was touching me for the first few moments. My doctor called today to talk to me about the results: the left node is indeed enlarged. Like I hadn't noticed. The part I didn't know is that it isn't just a cystic growth. There's a solid mass in there. And she wants me to have a thyroid scan, although she's going to let the endocrinologist I'm seeing on Monday decide whether to use that or a biopsy. I'm hoping for the scan, because who wouldn't want to be radioactive?

Hey, if you want to talk about solid masses give me a call. Make sure you have all of the facts before you let them do any biopsies, the fact that a biopsy was not done on me saved me from needing radiation or chemotherapy.

I guess you need some expert advice here from Aunt Bev and Grandma.
I had the radioactive scan. I don't remember if I glowed or not. As far as being normal??? :)
