Hi,
I found out that I too have some nodules, cysts, and a solid mass. They were only found cuz I had a MRI on my neck disks and they saw them in the images. (My neck is fine by the way-lol). I found this out on 12/22/06 and the endo can't see me untill 1/23/07. Yes, this does seem cruel.
I do know someone that has had thyroid cancer and said not to stress about it. She said even it it turns out to be cancer it is one of the slowest growing cancers you can have.
Anyway, once I get my appt I will update this post to let you know what they tell me.
Good luck,
Kathy
