Lumpy the thyroid is not going to go away quietly. Apparently the doc got the sonogram results and actually looked at them. (I was wondering if that would happen.) What I got, was a call from his office to let me know that I needed to get yet another test done.

I'm actually not suprised since I was paying attention when they did the darn thing. You can see a "nodule". It's pretty obvious. Particularly when they are taking the measurements and they click here and there and there's something very textured in between those clicks. I counted three, not that I think they'll tell me if I'm right.

Tomorrow I have to go pick up my referal. Friday was bozo day at the doctor office and I ended up calling the radiology lab to find out if they did the kind of test the doc wants me to have because the doctors office didn't know. I tried to make the appointment then but they informed me there's 3 different types of nuclear medicine thyroid tests and I need to know which one before I can schedule it. Fair enough. At least now I'm familiar with the terminology and if the right stuff isn't on the referal I can be sure to find out what they want before I try again.

After a little time on webmd, however, I'm pretty sure I know what I need. I need the one that tests for cool nodules or hot nodules. The one that says whether or not I'll need a biopsy.
