Limbo of Fear

Saturday morning I discovered a large lump on the side of my neck. As I was still recovering from a cold, I figured it was a related lymph node infection, but decided to call the doctor anyway on monday. Turns out it's my thyroid. This means the cause is unknown, so I had to have blood tests, and yesterday went for an ultrasound scan

Sorry to hear this. It's understandable that you're worried. I hope everything turns out OK.

I'm sorry you're going through this. Medical shenanigans are never fun. Thinking good thunks in your direction.

Hiding results until they can be explained is generally good policy. However, I think doctors need to balance that against people's natural desire to research - especially since you have been worried enough to go to the doctor in the first place
