Biopsy Results Back

[jennyj]

I had my fine needle biopsy of my thyroid last Friday. The doctor called today and said that the biopsy showed cancer cells were present. He wants to see me Monday to schedule surgery to remove my thyroid. He said he thinks it is a non agressive type but taking it out will be the best way to find out. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts and if you don't mind sending up a few more they would be greatly appreciated. I will keep you updated.

Hey Jenny,

It sounds like your doctor is very cautious. That's a good thing. I'll be sending lot of good thoughts you way. You too, think positive thoughts.

Oh, what bad luck Jenny. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Prayers to you Jenny. My Mom had it done a few years ago. She said it was the easiest surgery she has ever had (and she has had quite a few). She also had cancer, but it had not spread. No chemo and no radiation. She is doing well on Synthroid now. And one of our good friends had hers removed last year. The scar is tiny. Even though I think it is not obvious, she wears a necklace over it. Hope yours is equally as smooth.

Gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that! I'll definitely pray for you!

Thank you for all the encouragement, thoughts, and prayers. I went to the doc today and I am going to have a partial thyroidectomy on Tuesday Oct. 14th. The right side must come out and he will look at the left and see if the nodules look suspious but he will biopsy them. If it looks like the left side should come out he will do a total one at the same time. He said that the chances of cancer is about 20-25%, so that means 75-80% chance it isn't. His nurse said something about the biopsy showed a level 4. Thanks again for everything.

Thanks for the update. I will be pulling for that 75 to 80% chance. Will of course keep sending positve thoughts and prayers your way.
