Thanks for the response and advise, I did get lab work done, although I don't have the actual numbers with me, the doctor ordered a TSH, T3, T4 test and results came out normal.... I am only waiting on biopsy results.
Is it true that with masses this big it is easier to get a false negative on cancer....due to the size of the mass, with the FNA they could hit a good spot in the mass?
I know that I will have to take it out, hopefully it will be soon and thanks I am looking for a doc at John hopkins hospital in MD, I hear good things about them, my PCP is from tha hospital....thanks again
