Just wanted to let everyone know…even though I haven’t always been a regular on these forums for a while tomorrow I’m going in to have a mass on my thyroid drained. I had it appear two years ago and was hospitalized for three weeks and on a breathing tube for two weeks before they ever figured out what was wrong with me. That is why I’m nervous about this appointment tomorrow even though my parents tried to tell me it’s a simple procedure where they stick a needle in and drain the fluid build up. One never knows until it’s over.
So if I’m not on fora few days, this is the reason.
I think you will be in good hands and well looked after and a greAt team working together to help you and fix this problem so you can feel better again.
Wishing you well and good health love and Kindness.
Thanks everyone. I’m just a bit anxious. But I don’t think it’s that big of a procedure, I think it’s done out-patient. You never know it happens though…
Thanks everyone. I saw some videos of what I think I’m having done tomorrow and it doesn’t look like that big of a deal. I had it done before, but I was so out of it in the hospital I didn’t really know what was happening…about every day they seemed to have me doing some kind of test or op. somewhere while they figured out what happened.
My mom told me tonight that the reason I was in the hospital for so long then was I had the mass on my thyroid and it apparently ruptured, and I got fluid in my lungs, because I also had bronchitis at the time, and the fluid in the lungs caused me to develop pneumonia as well, and at the time we didn’t know what was causing the issues. But now we know to keep an eye on this.
I’m gonna turn on some white-noise and read for a while to try and calm my anxiety/nerves down while I take my medication tonight. I have to get up pretty early in the morning, which I’m not used to. So I don’t want to get distracted and start playing my Sims 4 for hours, or watch many you-tube videos and lose track of the time…
They didn’t do anything today, I have to go to the hospital and get it tested for cancer…he said it’s about the size of a baseball, and it is more than just liquid. So I have to wait for a call from the referral place and set up an appointment with the hospital.
keep us posted, we want to hear if you’re alright or if you need anything. My dad went through something similar and it’s scary for a while, but I hope in your case it’s not cancerous, my dads wasn’t and he was able to recover eventually. I will be praying for you, be brave, you got this
