About 5 Year ago I discovered a large bump on the left side of my neck. I was 6mos pregnant with my 3 child went to the doctor, they gave me an ultra sound and put me on some medication. The Dr. said my blood test were maybe a little on the low side but was hard to tell because I was pregnant. Went back to Dr. blood test normal stop medication, And just kinda forgot about it. Now because of my Grandmother unrelentless nagging about it . Due to her having to be removed (substernal)I went back to the docter again blood work normal THS 1.25 ultra sound thyroid mass,Did not ask size but can tell its gotten bigger-symptoms include Depression(also runs in family). alittle over weight but I can lose it if I apply myself, dry skin , fatige ,bruiseing very easily lately for no apparent reason, joint and bone pain, diarreh in the morning. anyway I go Mon for a radioactive Iodine scan. can anyone tell me what the likelyhood of surgery is ? also I can sleep on my back because I wake up shortly after falling asleep felling like I stop breathing. sorry! so long
I would like to say all the symptoms go away but mine have not. I still feel I have something stuck in my throat which a doctor told me I would get use to and get out of breath. Mind my breathing is not as bad as prior to my op when even bending over gave me extreme difficulty. It is also only 7mths since my last op so really still in the healing proceess. My stay in hospital was 4 days and my scar is fading nicely
