I was going to say, "Good job," but I realized that that's not an apt statement.

So... Congratulations?

Great! Neither do I, though I might one day ... Maybe this should be on the 10 things I'm happy about list.

The bad news is that I have more throat scans and another ultrasound (on a different kind of ultrasound machine) and more blood work scheduled. The saga continues to find a diagnosis, and the surgeon said there's still a pretty significant chance that my thyroid will need to be removed anyway (lots of cysts and nodules), but...I don't have cancer!

Well, see there! It was good news after all! That's wonderful and I, for one, am thrilled to hear it.

Now you can get back to your life and catch up on all that studying.

And don't worry about it anymore, no matter what they want to do about it.

Low white blood cell (WBC) count, headaches, exhaustion, nodules and cysts on my thyroid, light sensitivity, and plain and simple malaise. The problem is fitting all of it together. I've been tested for just about everything under the sun, but they can't find a firm diagnosis, just bits and pieces. But I don't have cancer!

Good to hear!
I've seen family members waste away from cancer before and I feel bad when I hear someone I know has it.

Great news Cran. Even at the worst, if they have to take out your thyroid you'll do just fine on thyroid replacement meds. I know literally hundreds of people like this.

Do they come to you with hang nails and you take their thyroids out?

I have been looking for this news every day since you first let us know the problem, Cran. I am so happy to read this!
