of lumps and needles

Jump to Comments

Things aren’t so bright and happy right now. I sought the opinion of a diabetes endocrinology specialist and after further tests, he concluded that I am not diabetic yet..I just have twice as much insulin as everyone else. I have a chance to escape diabetes by exercising and eating anything in moderation. But he found a complex nodule and a complicated cyst in my thyroid. so there..and because I like to suspend the inevitable, I have not scheduled a biopsy just yet.

I want to scream. I have been working so hard. I don’t need crap like this. Can’t I just will it away? How come evil doers don’t get sick?

  • The biopsy is cheduled if the nodule or cyst is larger then 1 cm . the nodules larger then that are usually visible on the neck during swallowing.The complex nodule should be aspirated under the ultrasound. Small cysts can be aspirated; sometimes the ethanol injection into the nodule stops it from growing. If you will be prescribed Metformin, the nodules can shrink.
    Good luck!!
