It has been almost exactly one year since my first ENDO appt. I remember thinking that I was going to be told that I was either hypothyroid or hyperthyroid, and given some medication, like Synthroid to control it, at least that is what I thought from the pamphlets in that exam room. Looking at the 'thyroid model' that was also in that room was not very comforting either - looking at stuff like that always makes me a little queasy. So, I was a bit surprised when my ENDO said that I had a goiter, not hyper/hypo thyroidism, and he wanted to do a biopsy. Next thing, I was taken into another exam room where they told me what was going to happen, it might hurt a little, etc., but it was the only way to get samples of my thyroid. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. A lot has happened since last February. How does my neck look?
