On June 2nd, I had a health check-up and also underwent a thyroid ultrasound and related blood tests.
Fortunately, there is no abnormality in the thyroid hormone levels in the blood test.
However, since nine nodules were detected on the thyroid ultrasound, I sent a referral to a university hospital and scheduled an appointment as quickly as possible by phone, which was on June 30th, so I waited anxiously until that day.
On June 30th, I went to the university hospital for a check-up, and they said one thing was suspicious. They suggested doing an ultrasound and a biopsy again on October 12th.
Another continuous wait...😭😭😭
The problem is that lately I've been feeling a sense of tightness and discomfort in my throat and around my neck, which is making me anxious.
The throat feels dry and tight, sometimes tingling, and also feels swollen...
Even as I post this message now, thinking that I am sick makes me feel even more unwell.
Since this was my first thyroid ultrasound, I don't know when the lump appeared, but lately I've been feeling anxious because of sore throat symptoms.
If it's diagnosed as cancer, surgery should be fine... but I can't help but worry.
Should I look for foods that are good for the thyroid in times like this?
Or should I wait for the appointment or go to another hospital for the examination?
급하게 조직검사를 하지 않고 10월쯤에 보자는것도 나름의 이유가 있지 않을까 생각됩니다. 갑상선은 암일지라도 진행이 느린 경우가 대부분이라 10월경에 조직 검사를 받으셔도 큰 이상은 없으실 거에요. 저도 몇 년 전 급성 갑상선 염이 생겨 동네 병원서 진료 받고 대학병원 예약 걸고 기다리는데 기다림의 시간이 참 더디더라구요. 가족력이 있기에 암이면 어쩌나 너무 걱정되더라구요. 하루에도 목을 몇 번이나 만지게 되던지.. 뚱1님 다시 검사하자고 하시는것 보니 아마 결절의 모양이 매끈하지 않았나봐요. 저라면 나중에 검사 결과가 좋지 않을 상황까지 대비해 예약한 대학병원에서 조직검사 진행할 것 같아요. 그리고 무엇보다 충분한 휴식과 스트레스 받지 않는것이 중요한건 아시죠? 특별히 좋은 음식을 찾아 드실 필요도 없을것 같고 마음의 안정을 찾는것이 가장 중요해보이네요.
