Finally got the results back on my thyroid, which were negative YEA! but the captured cells were not enough for them to clear me completely.....SOOO

We watch and wait----I hate that! Although the endo said it was difficult to capture many cells because of the calcification, which unlike breast cancer, is not a sign of malignancy. So there must not have been much room for anything to be malignant. I hope.

Back for ultrasound in September, unless the thyroid enlarges significantly in the interim. Is currently pressing slightly on my vocal cords, so something will probably be done before too long.

Thanks for all your well wishes.
