Hello Everyone! I'm glad I found a place I can go to for a little bit of knowledge. I went for a CAT scan on Monday to see if my benign tumor from 6 years ago was coming back. I'd had some neck discomfort for a week or two. The CAT showed no new growth, but the Doctor said they couldn't get a clear view of my thyroid and they were sending me for an US.

I got there today and it seemed to be taking forever, so I made a joke about finding Hoffa in there. She said she was taking measurements and there were some nodules that she'd have to show the radiologist.

She clammed up after that, but it was enough to scare me into doing some internet research. BIG mistake. Now I'm pretty much terrified.

So I have to wait three days before I call me doctor for the results and I don't know how I'm going to make it without going out of my mind with all the what-ifs. I haven't told my husband. I don't want him to worry about it yet. I'm only 27. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for no cancer.

Sorry I unloaded so much in my very first post. I'm trying to forget what I know so I can be happy mommy for my two kids.

Off to poke around in here...
