O.k... So the tech doing the ultrasound yesterday said nodules. I called my doctor for results this afternoon because there was NO WAY I was going to make it through the weekend with that hanging over my head.

The nurse said that there was a cyst on my thyroid and I was being referred to an ENT.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a cyst is better than a nodule, right?

I'm a little confused as to the change in terminology, unless the tech was mistaken.

FYI - I'm covered in cysts. I had several removed from my ear several years ago and I have 3 on my head in various locations, no cancer or anything like that.

So this is a good thing, right? Should I be happy over this?
