Cancer scare...
I had a cancer scare. You wouldn't think at the age of 31 I would be thinking about cancer. Although, it isn't a specific age disease. It started with me having my annual check up with my gynecologist and I guess she felt something after she felt my neck. So I had to go and have an ultrasound done on my thyroid. Then I had to go to an appointment at an Ear, Nose, and Throat facility. The ultrasound showed that I had a nodule that measured at 1.7 cm and they suggest you to have a biopsy on anything over 1.5 cm. So I had to have a biopsy to see if it was cancer or benign. They say majority of the time it is benign. I went in to have my biopsy which was so annoying because my appointment was at 1 but I was sitting around for an hour and a half before I finally got to go back. They had to numb the area and it burned which was the hardest part of it. Then I think she had stuck 5 needles in to get a sample of the nodule. After it was done, it was sore for awhile the first day it was uncomfortable but after it started feeling better. After a couple of days, I received the results and it was benign. I still have a followup appointment to go to but as far as I know I am fine.
