So I saw the dr on Monday morning. It was totally not worst case, because just by the ultrasound he couldn't have given me a whole bunch of details. It turns out I have nodules on my thyroid. Nodules that contain nodules, that contain cysts. The largest on the left is 3.5 cm and the largest on the right is 2.8 cm. Good grief that is large. He can't tell yet exactly what it means, so I went for more blood tests, and then a thyroid scan yesterday. That was pretty cool. They inject you with radioactive iodine and see what parts of the thyroid light up. It's kind of weird, because if there is X amount that's hot, that's good. But if there is x-y amount that's hot, that's bad.
I go in to see the dr tomorrow morning for a diagnosis and hopefully a determination of a plan for moving ahead. Looking forward to finding out the results.
