I have an appointment with my endocrinologist on the 1st April. 5 months ago, he noticed that I had swollen glands in my neck. I see him every 6 months as I have hypothyroidism. I had a bout with tonsillitis last summer, and they have been swollen since then.
Long story short, he said he didn't like the feel of my glands, particularly on the left hand side, saying it was more than 2cms. He insisted that the tonsillitis was long over with, and my glands should have returned to normal. He wanted to do an ultrasound and maybe a biopsy. I was leaving for Europe in October, so I postponed.
I feel fine, no night sweats etc, and my blood work was okay in Sept. My glands currently are still swollen. I know he will whisk me in for an ultrasound at my next visit.
I have been reading your informative and enlightening forum. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us all. I really appreciate all the information and advice you offer in such a warm hearted way.

@sograteful I just wanted to check in and see how your Dr's appointment went on 4/1?
Hope it was all good news?
