Possible thyroid cyst
«

I started last Mon with a pain in my throat. Went to dialysis clinic Tues and mentioned it. The doc sent me for a CT scan. Results were maybe a cyst. Doc referred me to ENT. They can't see me for a week so I went to primary care doc. He sent me for an ultrasound and referred me to endocrinologist who gave me an appt IN JULY!!!
I called primary back and he's trying to get me an appt sooner. I'm so frustrated. My appetite is gone. I just don't feel good. Who knows what's wrong with me. I'll prob keep the ENT appt in 2 days so at least I see a doctor.

So the doc poked a needle in my throat. Ouch. Next week I get results then probably need surgery. Don't know yet if I get to keep my thyroid.

Ouch! I hope the results show it's a "nothing much" and that you can get back to comfortable eating soon.

The whole thing is on hold. I got my transplant almost 2 weeks ago! I told them about the cyst and they called me anyway for the transplant. So I can deal with the thyroid in a few months. But I think the high steroids are helping with the cyst. One of my options was always to wait and see so I guess that's what I'm doing. The transplant was too important.
