"never the case"

[JittyJat]

I totally understand how irritating to hear "it's never the case" from a doctor.  A CT scan for my lunch 4 months ago showed a very small light up on my thyroid gland.  The doctor said I dont even have to get it checked up on because its probably a false positive . I did anyway though.  And the next doctor said because Im only 22 its probably nothing, needless to say I went to about 5 doctors after that and hd all diff tests, and everyone said its prob nothing.... It was cancer.  Doctors need to stop saying "its probably nothing"  Then i was told its not aggressive ever, I have the surgery and it spread on to my trachea, and that ive been rare for everything,.  THEN i call the dat after surgery and say I cant breath and he tells me its just from surgery, but he sends me for a chest xray and i have pnemonia... again.... rarity lol.  So I did the diet, and the treatment and im awaiting the results of the body scan!

You could never be so right in my opinion.

Here is a thread on your very same subject that I started as it related to my condition and yours, too ....

I was kept less than 24 hours after my TT in Jan. 08.  24 hours later, I was at the emergency room - I couldn't breathe.  I told them I thought I had pneumonia (never had it before, but I have an primary immune disease which results in no antibodies against pnuemonia).  13 hours later, a pulminologist is called in to read the x-ray taken during the first hour and BINGO!  He sees pneumonia.  Was in the hospital for 4 days for that.  During the 13 hours, I watched my oxygen levels fall from 95 to 88; one of the er nurses told me I was having an anxiety attack as a result of the surgery!

And I, too, heard "almost never", "highly unlikely" and "probably nothing" during the couse of my diagnosis and treatment.  I wish there were some kind of continuing medial education requirement for physicians on "what not to say to your patients", with us as the lecturers.  Would they get an earful!

I kept getting told I had nothing wrong with me too ...for over 15 long years! Eventually I had my whole thyroid removed due to Hashimoto's and Hurthle Cells hiding away in the right thryoid gland...had I not kicked bottoms I hate to think what would have happened.
  It really is the old adage of YOU know your body the best and as soon as doctors get over their God complex and start to really listen the better off health care will be...
  And I DO hope it is only nothing on your body scan, said in the nicest possible way!
Cheers!

Sorry you've had such a hard time of it.

Good for you for wading through a sea of "it's nothing" until you found the right doctor. Most people would have given up out of frustration.

I hope all future scans come out clean and you have the worst of it behind you.
