Not the news I was hoping for.............

[Guest guest]

But I wasn't surprised either. This afternoon I found out I have Thyroid

nodules, when the doctor's office called about the ultrasound results. Now I

will be referred to an Endocronoligist for further evaluation and testing. The

woman I talked with at the doctor's office just said, it looks like there are

nodules, and that I'm going to be referred to make sure they are benign. Of

course we know that also means to make sure they aren't malignant.

I'm so glad to be here because I don't feel alone while waiting. One of my sons

is in Iraq, and the other is expecting a fourth child in about three weeks.

He's not local either. Since one is looking forward to coming home in December

and the other is happily waiting for the new arrival, I don't want to worry them

or their families unnecessarily. So, thanks to all of you for being here.
