I got my thyroid ultrasound result today. The impression is not something I can be happy about right now. The result says, "Thyroid mass as described, bilateral. Suggest clinical/laboratory correlation"
My both lobes (right & left) shows complexes masses measuring 16.2 x 11.2 mm (with cystic component) and 6.7 x 7.1 mm (with calcified rim) in the right while 23.1 x 8.6 mm (with component) and 21.0x 12.1 mm (with cystic component) seen in the left. The isthmus and adjacent vascular structures are intact.
The doctor advised me to undergo an ultrasound-guided biopsy (a very fine, thin needle is inserted into the thyroid, and aspirates cells and/or fluid from a thyroid nodule or mass into the needle guided by an ultrasound procedure) and thyroid function tests (a collective term for blood tests used to check the function of the thyroid) as mentioned in my previous post.
The biopsy result will be ready in 2-3 days. I am worried of the suspicious thyroid nodule which has calcified rim. Sometimes the knowledge of a certain medical condition is quite nerve-wracking. It's scary thinking about it. =(
The best Christmas gift I want to receive is the gift of GOOD HEALTH... ♥
