Swamphunter Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Well here is the reasons for my prayer request earlier. I have been training for an upcoming martial arts test and have been working to lose weight. Lost maybe 8 - 10 lbs and my wife and I both noticed that my adams apple was more prominent than before. We just figured it was because Im nothing but pure shredded muscle I then noticed two weeks ago, that I am feeling my adams apple snapping when I yawn or swallow hard. Two weeks go by and now my throat feels swollen also so I go to the Ear, Nose and Throat specialist. He feels my throat and immediately finds a lump on my thyroid which he biopsys. I won't have the results back until next week. The doctor then schedules me for an ultrasound a couple days later and they find a lump the exact size of a ping pong ball on my thyroids isthmus. Directly in the front of my throat. This is what is causing my difficulty in swallowing.. and now it is pressing against my vocal chords also causing me to lose my voice somewhat. The Dr is now scheduling me for surgery in Burlington Vermont. This is where I am now... Thanks for the prayers Your prayers (and phone calls) have meant a lot to me over the past few days.. thank you all and God Bless you and your families Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Been there. Want the good news? Very common to grow stuff on the thyroid. Most of it is benign. Want some better news? God forbid it is cancer, the most common type of thyroid cancer (papillary) has a 95%+ CURE rate. Not treatable, cure. Hang in the Ken. Got any questions, shoot me a PM.
