Having the above on Friday and scared to death. Doc found nodule on thyroid. Had no symptoms. Scared of the procedure, and terrified of the results. Please keep me in your thoughts.
My thoughts and prayers that the procedure goes well, is not difficult for you and the outcome is favorable. Please keep us posted, your KT family cares. Dottie
I have had a needle biopsy done twice (once on each breast). While the procedures were not fun, they were not painful. Plenty of numbing. But yes, the first time it was a bit scary. I am holding good thoughts for your comfort and peace of mind, both for the procedure and for the results.
Try not to stress about it too much. I've had two thryroid needle biopsies and one thyroid ultrasound because I have thyroid nodules. They just like to check every two years or so to make sure the nodules aren't turning cancerous. I didn't find the biopsies painful because the needle was quite thin, and so far my nodules are remaining benign and causing no thyroid symptoms.
