Hey Ariel! Thanks for the well-wishes
Yeah, its apparently just a stonking huge nodule lol (3.5x2.5cms), am very lucky its seems to be benign and no related hormone issues. Not Hashimotos in that case, so I feel very fortunate.
Apologies about the hit n' posting lately everyone

I've been a bit flat out the past few days, taking my Mum to heart specialists and the cardiologist...looks like she will be getting a valve replacement asap as once symptoms have appeared it can be a rapid progression - though avoiding open-heart surgery (and the need for a heart/lung machine during the operation) if at all possible. 8am tomorrow I go in for the chop; planning on trying to get away with taking one days' supply of meds for an expected overnight stay, as (supposedly) the hospital can't guarantee that they won't be uh,
misplaced ![:blink: :blink:](/media/kunena/emoticons/blink.png)
during staff changeovers etc. Rather lose one days supply rather than two! i can always get another brought in if there are complications and I have to stay longer.
Don't hold out much hope of catching up on everyone's posts here now, sorry guys! But I will get as much covered as possible.
