I already know what the doctor is going to do next: thyroid biopsies. For the uninitiated, you basically get sewing needles jammed into your neck for the doc to jiggle around and get some nodule material to test.
I really hope it's not cancer! Though, even if it's not, I still have four thyroid nodules that'll need addressing.  |
Oh, I certainly hope you’re cleared of cancer. But boy it doesn’t sound like a fun way to find out. Sending good vibes and hugs.
