My ex showed up on my door step yesterday with the announcement that he has a lump on his thyroid. I have heard that this is serious before, but he told me the doctors are not yet sure about the diagnosis. Do any of you know what this could be? It can't be sexually transmitted, right?
Hi there! No, it can't be sexually transmitted. I'm sorry for your (ex)boyfriend. Six years ago I've noticed a lump on my thyroid too. Then I had needle biopsy's of my thyroid tissue and it turned out to be thyroid cancer. I had my thyroid removed and now I take levothyroxine everyday to replace it, and I feel great! Remember, these things are very rarely cancer but if that's what it is, better to know now and get it dealt with. Thyroid cancer is one of the most curable forms of cancer (it takes a long time to spread outside of the thyroid, as much as ten years) and the treatments are no big deal. I hope this will help you and him.
