yep, it's true...so my neck's been playing up for a coupla weeks, and before that my throat was a bit weird, so after 4 weeks of just about constant neck pain I asked Dr to send me for a CT scan...
did that Thursday and Friday, the report came back announcing a 3cm mass behind my trachea and near my thyroid...WTF?
so, I'm trying not to completely freak out, and in fact, I've done a pretty good job of that as really, right now, I don't know enough to warrant a freak out, but I've observed the various fears/scenarios float in and out of my head since I found out...
guess positive is if I hadn't had a back neck, who knows how long it would have gone unnoticed for? and given some of the health issues of the last few years (hormonal, weight, sleep, temperature etc), might actually provide some answers...
so, sure I'm anxious and would like to know what it is, and sure I don't want it to be anything that's life threatening, but in the meantime, I'm trying to just take it day by day...
Monday I'm having a contrast CT scan and an ultrasound - that should provide more info, and if it doesn't then I'm guessing a biopsy will be the next step...
one good thing about knowing the steps is they don't feel so scary...
fingers crossed! universe if you are reading this, I appreciate your support as always x
