My sister had a nodule (of several) removed from her thyroid gland a few weeks ago. Wasn't told anything about what they would be testing for (not good practice, IMO) or why they were removing it. Was just told that she would get they results when they were in.
She then got herself v stressed then because there were posters up all over the clinic about Thyroid cancer apparently. She has waited for a letter to arrive giving her more information. Called them last week and was given short shrift by a receptionist who told her the results were in, but that she'd get a letter this week.
I have been trying to reassure her that I'm fairly certain they would not send her anything by post if it was anything serious (i.e. cancer). IMO if it was that serious she would have received a phone call or at least an urgent request to attend a clinic. Anyways, she has got a letter today with no information in, except requesting that she attend a clinic next Wednesday.
Does this sound ominous to anybody? If they had found cancer, would they not call and speak with her over the phone? I have been trying to be upbeat and optimistic, but now feel a bit wobbled by it myself. What might we expect? Feel a bit worried TBH...
