Looks like more surgery in my future. Went to the thyroid doctor last week hoping he could drain the one large (I have about 30 smaller ones)cyst but that didn't happen. My tumor still is there and is perhaps larger and has alot of bloodflow. It is hard to biopsy, and the dr isn't sure he biopsied the right spot before. In other words- half of my thyroid needs to come out! Yes, sure it could most definately be cancer. I am not worried about that. I am worried about this:
I found this picture along with many others when I googled thyroidectomy. Nice- so I will look like I survived an attack with a machete.....I have heard that it often heals to be unnoticeable but that is for people that actually heal. It takes months for normal scrapes and scratches to heal. I still have bright red scars from my surgery in march. Pretty much all I have going for me as far as looks go are from the chest up. the bottom half is crap, and now my neck will be too? I don't 'do' turtlenecks.... I have an appt with the surgeon next week and hopefully surgery will be sometime in november. More to come on that as I get more info....
