I went through with my normal GP the circumstances of the last couple of weeks to bring him up to speed.
My blood pressure is still above normal, so he's increased the "AM" medication with a review in 2 weeks. It's not too high now, but needs to be lowered for my hospital visit.
He went through the scan report & advised me that I now have 2 lumps on my thyroid. Interesting as my thyroid readings have been a bit up and down lately (say over the last 9 months). So I'm wondering if that's related! That would at least account for why I've been putting on a bit of weight & very tired & lethargic.
The report requires further scans - an ultrasound (which I've booked in for SATURDAY - a nice way to spend the weekend...) and then a fine needle biopsy.
That does not thrill me at all, but has to be done.
It will be interesting to see whether these 2 lumps are a cancer or just something benign. Only time will tell.
I'm just grateful at this stage that these lumps were 'accidentally' discovered!
