Hello:
First of all I just registered and wanted to post this question in the ''ask a doctor'' question, but couldn't do it due to that forum's exceeded daily quota.
I'm a woman, 33, one week ago my doctor did a CT of my neck cause I had a 2 cms nod in the thyroid gland area. He found that it was encapsuled but sent me to further analisis. After the US and FNA the results came in and I've been informed that the biopsy shows cancer in the nod's cells.
I have another apointment on Friday (this time for thyroid analisis) but would like to know if the diagnosis could be more encouraging, given that the nod is encapsuled?
If the nod is malignant, does it mean that the whole thyroid is also infected?
I'm just worried...
Thank you for any words or inputs...
Y
