My endocrinologist recommended that I have an ultrasound to confirm the suspicion of what he thought was an enlarged thyroid. I went to the test knowing what to expect and wasn't worried about the procedure. The procedure took quite a while. If fact, it seemed like it took forever. I started to worry because I knew an ultrasound usually doesn't take that long. After the gal was done with the procedure I asked "Didn't that take longer than usual?" She promptly replied "Yes." I shrugged it off and decided to wait for the test results from my doctor.
The test results came back confirming that the right lobe of my thyroid was enlarged. My doctor then recommended having a biopsy done and I made the necessary arrangements. I went to that appointment with some nervousness. I really didn't know what to expect. However, once I was in the room, the procedure went fairly quickly. It was painful at times but I knew that it would be over soon and I would be on my merry way.
The results of my biopsy were inconclusive. I looked at my doctor with disbelief. I said what happens now? He suggested that I have the right lobe of my thyroid removed. I had surgery on May 16, 2007.
Until next time........
