Speaking of Greek - Doctor's have their own language

And it's all so we don't throw ourselves under the next convenient bus.
Anyway, the biopsy results were that there were no cells showing malignancy but lots of different cells that will happily continue to grow without restraint. Anyone here remember pictures of goiters from the good old days before iodized salt?










Okay, mine isn't that bad right now but, left alone, it will be and on both sides of neck.
Also, some of the cell structures in the biopsy are the kind that have a rather unpleasant habit of suddenly deciding to go to the dark side - Darth Synthroid....so I see a surgeon in a few weeks and find out about having yet another bit of the innards yarded out. It isn't working anyway and is starting to get uncomfortable, so what the heck, eh?

At least that's what I hope. I don't want to go through another year of playing the ultrasound, biopsy specialist boogey. It takes a long time, time off work, time driving to appointments, time sitting in waiting rooms, time wondering, wondering, wondering what's developed since the last time...
