Any advice welcome! I am waiting for a date to have surgery. I need half of my thyroid removed as I have a 6.5cm nodule that is rapidly growing. A little over 50% that it might be cancer but they aren't sure yet.
I've not had my surgery date yet and because of COVID I have to isolate 2 weeks before. And then of course, there's the wait the other side to find out whether or not I do in fact have cancer.
I'm supposed to be leaving my job next month and start a new degree at university in September. I'm desperate to do this. But now I don't know what to do - stay in my job another year and have the security of sick pay? Or just go for uni in the hope that I don't have cancer or that it's very treatable (thyroid normally is) and I can get by?
It's so hard. I don't think for one minute I'll know where I stand cancer wise by the time I need to hand my notice in at work.
