Can my diagnosis be cancer?
I'm 34 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child.I have been having Cold &cough from about 2 weeks.I thought,it must be seasonal allergy,but I never had such allergy before.I took allergy medcine & felt ok fora couple of days but my cough returned after I stopped the tablets.
About 2 days ago,my husband noticed a lump on my throat.My OBG prescribed some antibiotics for cough & cold & refered me for thyroid blood work & endocrinologist.
They did an ultrasound of my thyroid nodule.And they scheduled a FNA-biopsy instantly.
What does it indicate.I am going to have this biopsy today but I am very sad & scared.
Once I am at my doctor's office then They are going to explain everything.But just trying to find some support here.
I learnt that thyroid cancer is very treatable and I am ready to accept the bitter truth.
But I am extremely scared that it may be throat cancer or something else.Or the one in my thyroid probably spread.
Your personal experiences and answers will be greatly apprecia
Any kind of cancer can be awful scary. It may not be cancer. Do not focus on the gloom and doom….each case is different and "if" it is…you are getting early treatment. Perhaps there are options and I am sure it will all be discussed at the appropriate time. You stay upbeat for you and the baby. Because any unnecessary stress won't help either of you. This may be a test of faith for you…the reeds bend with the adversity of the storm and remain….so shall you…pray and rest in the peace all will work out as it is suppose to.
The vast majority of cancers effect people over 50. The likelihood that you have cancer is very small at your age.
The problem is that the media has created a situation where everyone who gets a lump thinks they have cancer.
Get tested by all means but you are statistically more likely to be run over by a car on the way to the doctor than to have thyroid cancer.
I would try not and worry majority of thyroid nodules are benign (not cancerous).Just wait untill the tests come back and go from there.My mom had a nodule it was nothing and eventually went away on its own.
it could be cancer. i would go see a doctor if i were you.
I had pre-cancerous cells in my smear test, and had to undergo local surgery and altho' I was pretty sure in my real mind that it couldn't be cancer, as I have always attended for the test, going thru my mind I just had faith that it was discovered immediately and that most lumps turn out to be benign. I wish you well so much and I doubt that that type of cancer develops to quickly. I don't think you should worry yourself to death, and if the worst comes to the worst, you will be well treated and come thru it with the most modern techniques and drugs available. Keep well and strong.xx
I had a similar scare, but it turned out not to be my actual thyroid. I have something called a thyroglossal duct cyst, which is somewhat rare. Usually they are found in children, but they didn't find mine until I was 26. It is a congenital defect, and they are usually benign. I'm not sure where your lump is or what your symptoms are, but you can find some information on this type of cyst here:

Try not to panic, although I know it's extremely hard not to. Good luck and I'll keep you in my prayers!
