I got the results which said the nodules were benign. So thats good, only thing I asked my GP for a referal to a Thyroid specialist and that wont happen until early next year. I am so angry that my GP hadnt organised a referal for the specialist, when the first untrasound was done months ago., had to wait for me to ask, he is my doctor and should have done that. You really have to speak up for yourself these days. Good luck on Nov 3rd. Cheers Lynne

Oh dear friends ! Please do not stay silent when you know that something is not right!! If a doctor dismisses your diagnosis then you must go elsewhere!! Time is precious and you must advocate for yourself!! It could be a matter of life versus death!! I get so angry when I hear people who are ill are treated like it’s nothing !! You deserve better!! Every person here would tell you this!
I will look for more information about your situation and update!!
Hugs and encouragements

@lynnebgraham Great news! Glad you are seeing the specialist, tho. Yes, you do have to speak up. I am making my list for Nov 3. My GP retired, so I see the new person for the first time.
