Hi everyone.
I'm worried. 6 months ago a dentist gave me a head and neck exam and said my thyroid was enlarged, wrote a letter to my doctor and suggested an ultrasound. The doc ran some blood tests (tsh?) which came back normal but to be on the safe side ordered the ultrasound, which I had yesterday. The tech wouldn't talk to me about the results but when I was leaving said that she has a thyroid nodule too and that they just need to be watched. I guess that may mean I have a thyroid nodule. The docs office called today and want to see me on Monday (they are closed tomorrow).
So I have 4 lovely days to wait and wonder what the hell this all means. Does anyone have experience or knowledge about this kind of thing. Of course I've googled and been both reassured and frightened. I guess I'm hoping that some of you can give me some advice and reassurance until I find out what I'm dealing with on Monday...
