At
my annual checkup in late fall, they noticed that one side of my
thyroid felt larger than the other, so she scheduled me a followup
appointment yesterday afternoon with an endocrinologist. I don’t have
any weird symptoms, and she said my bloodwork is in the normal range and
the ultrasound of my thyroid doesn’t show anything alarming, but I do
have a larger portion on one side of my thyroid. She recommends a
biopsy just to rule anything suspicious out, though 90% of these things
are benign. I’ll have the biopsy next Wed morning while M is in
preschool, as it is just under the surface of the skin so it takes less
than an hour with just local numbing, etc. If you want to pray that it
is totally benign, that would be awesome!
Will be praying
ReplyDeleteWill pray, of course. Somehow the thyroid always manages to be an annoyance!
