Good news about the results of my fine needle aspiration test on my thyroid
nodule: it was benign.
And my thyroid blood work was normal too.
Apparently my doctor wants me to repeat the blood work in 3 months to make sure
it is still normal:
then if it is we are not going to worry about it.

I am feeling very relieved right now, and can go on with my life.

The interesting thing is: tghat after the needle aspiration: I did find that I
could swallow easier.
(For the past 2 1/2 years, I had been experiencing some very subtle changes in
my swallowing,
also sometimes some "reverse aspiration" when I swallowed: a barium swallow test
showed no
throat tumors or anything of concern: so i chalked it up to either getting older
(I am 50) or
else the results of the eye drops I take which contain beta blockers: however:
perhaps: it was the thyroid nodules/cysts: and the draining that happened in the
biopsy
drained some fo the pressure?
