The Second and Third Hint

Second: During the ultrasound, the lady conducting the procedure said things like “oh that’s interesting” and “let me check the lymph nodes” which may have been part of the standard procedure but I wasn't expecting it so that gave me something to think about and when I left she looked me in the eye and told me in a sincere tone of voice “good luck”. That scared me. But the fear didn’t last very long. The Third Hint: Dr Woeber called to tell me that I have two nodules in my thyroid and he wanted to order a biopsy just to be sure that it was nothing to worry about. He said that it was probably nothing but that it is always good to be sure. The day of the biopsy I was told that I have two kinds of nodules: a calcified one that would be hard to biopsy because that would be like putting a needle into a marble and a squishy one which would not be hard to biopsy. I’m pretty sure they did not call it squishy but I forgot how they described it. They said that they would biopsy both but if they are not able to get into the calcified one, they would bail quickly but that won’t be a problem because it is very rare for a calcified nodule to be cancer. Sure enough, they had to bail on the calcified one and that was no concern to me. The biopsy was not painful but it was uncomfortable. Especially when they were trying to get that calcified one. I could feel the needle pushing that marble around and it did not feel good. I was glad when they called off that part.
