How about a little good news!
Far Guy has two nodules inside his Thyroid Gland. They were first discovered when they lit up last August on a Pet Scan. He had one biopsy in September that didn't tell anything useful because that Surgeon was an idiot. He had more biopsies on February 9th. One nodule we knew was benign and the other biopsy was sent off for genetic testing and the results are back...BENIGN!!!
So the Doctors three will all have opinions...the Endocrinologist, the ENT Surgeon and the Cancer Doctor. The Endocrinologist thinks it is reasonable to have the surgery (to remove half of the thyroid) and it is also reasonable to monitor the nodule for change....so she is not that much help with the decision. The other Doctors will be seen in March.
The good news is that it is not cancer! If he has part of his thyroid removed he will not have to have further treatment.
