I am 3 years out never had any scans. Went for thyroid panel check Oct. 12, Dr. put me on synthroid. Also while she was checking she found a swollen lypmh node on the same side I had surgery, so she sent me for ct scan they did blood work which the lady that took the blood couldn't tell me what they were checking for, does anyone here know. I hope to hear from the scan today.Erik I know what you are going thru, your mind just tends to go where it wants to go, and you have no control. When I read all these post I just cann't help but wonder how any others are out there with no help like this. I will say a little prayer right now for good news for you, and may God Bless You.
