Thyroid nodules??

Looking for some information from the nurses I know we have here. About 2 weeks ago I noticed a lump on the front left side of my throat. Same day I noticed them I went to the doctor who immediately set me up for a throat scan.

The findings are that I have a huge nodule on my thyroid and about 4 more on the right side of my neck. I am also scheduled for a biopsy, but the earliest I can get in is 7/12/11. I have noticed these nodules/lumps are larger then they were 2 weeks ago. Should I be concerned about this?

Now I can vent. I have suspected for years that I had a thyroid problem. I had a thyroid blood test done in the past which showed all is normal. But from what I have read it appears that I should had different type blood tests done as well.

I have had all the classic symptoms of thyroid disease.  The #1 symptom is not able to lose weight no matter what I did, constipation big time, feet swelled for no reason, insomnia,  always cold, fatigue, sluggish, irregular periods etc. Now alot of these are also symptoms to just being overweight but I think this has been going on for a long time.

This is kinda freaking me out. Just when I thought things were looking up I get this. I hope I can get rid of these nodules w/o surgery.

I'm sorry, I'm not a nurse and can't answer your question.  I just wanted to let you know that I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that this turns out to be nothing.

Good luck and please let us know how you are doing.

Thanks Colleen, I do appreciate it. Its good to know that people will be praying !

Being a nurse does not give one all the answers either. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers too. Let us know what the biopsy results are. That grouping of smptoms goes with a few things, follow MD directions, they know best. Prayers and Hugs.

Thanks Kathy!

(((HUGS))) Anytime something is not right with our health, there is cause for concern. Even with little things. The only way we will really know wether or not to be more concerned is when you hear back on the biopsy results.

You are in my thoughts and prayers for it to be nothing serious, and easily taken care of. PLEASE keep us posted!
I too have had (and some still do) many of the symptoms you listed. They are no fun to deal with, especially the lack of energy. Healing thoughts coming your way

Thanks Patrece, yes, Healing thoughts, really need them. 

They are absolutely coming your way, along with prayers and lots of caring thoughts!
