Possible thyroid cancer but also having Orencia infusions

Posted by annelia @annelia, 11 hours ago

My thyroid ultrasound has suspicious new blood flow and tissue around nodules to my right side of the thyroid. I am waiting for a fine needle aspiration biopsy . I also have Addison's disease , so the stress while waiting is not good. Has anyone else had to deal with this while have multiple autoimmune diseases ?
I am very shaken about it all.

My 36yr old daughter just had a Thyroidectomy and I-131 radioactive iodine therapy. She’s also on dialysis which has taken a toll on her body. I can understand the stress you’re going through. Hang in there and think positive! Best of luck with everything! 🙏

Thank you so much for your input ... I am truly sorry your daughter is going through so much herself.
I have heard from my GP and the wait list is 12 to 18 months to get the biopsy done. But she is trying for hospitals further away from why I live and it might move the time line a bit ... this is when I get angry about our health care system ... the waiting periods are ridiculous and so stressful.
