it's 5 am and i'm a little worried

[marleo]

Iv'e been visiting doctors for the past four months because of a thyroid nodule that has grow to the extent that I sometimes find it difficult to breathe or swallow, After two biopsies they've ascertained that there is only a two percent chance that it may be cancerous. I had just visited my gp to see about a sinus infection and she urged me to talk to my endcrinologist this wednesday about having an operation (they know each other and have apparently reached the same conclusion). I wanted to waffle -in the past six years i've had two emergency c sections and a pretty awful case of menengitis- but told her that i would think about it. Taking my monthly pregnancy test the next morning (i've been doing this for the past five months because of all the tests that they run) i found out i was pregnant. I must have conceived around christmas. I've been taking a sythetic thyroid in the hopes that the nodule would shrink (meaning no cancer and easier breathing) and although the doctor said it couldn't harm a fetus i'm more thatn a little worried.
I apologise for the huge and heavy load that I'm laying on this board, and I's so happy that these threads are full joy and anticipation, but i needed to vent out a few things. BY the way, are there any doctors or nurses lurking on the board? Do you have any wise words?

NO wisdom here either, except that I hope you find peace in making your decisions, and hope someone round here can give some insight.

well, I can assure you that the synthetic thyroid hormone is fine! I've been on that for over 10 years and all my kids are perfectly healthy.

I'd say it's likely fine to give the thyroid hormone a little time to shrink the goiter, especially given the professional opinions you've had that it's likely NOT cancerous.
