Nine nodules. All over the damn gland. I see an endocrinologist on Monday. The lab report is full of words I never saw before Monday. I've done some research. There are some things that point to benign and others that point to malignant. More tests will be run. Statistically what I have is a multi-nodular goiter. I'm really trying to take comfort in that. I sort of lost my mind this week. My hands are still shaky. I can't concentrate except when I'm reading about thyroid diseases and I went MIA from work. They say that if you had to pick a cancer, thyroid is a good bet. I've talked with two friends that had thyroid cancer. They were very reassuring and scared the crap out of me at the same time. I'm still waiting wake up from this nightmare. I'm trying not to be a drama queen. Especially because a goiter is a ridiculous, embarrassing, undramatic ailment. (Please, please let it be a goiter!)
I was worried when you weren't posting! I'm sorry you have to go through this - I'm sending positive thought vibes your way.

Sorry to worry you. I've been reluctant to post anything. I just didn't want to write anything down. I've got some other general stuff about mini-projects and stuff. I just haven't gotten around to it.
