So she decided just to be safe we dould get and ultrasound of the thyroid. So my dr just called and the girl said my U/S showed i had a small cyst on my thyroid. OH MY GOSH what does this mean, i freaked and asked her do i need to be worried is this common OH MY GOSH again. she said it was comming not to stress so we made a 2 week folow up. Basically im wondering if anyone has been in this situation? or has had this happen and should i really not be overly concerened??

A cyst on your thyroid will not go away. It is probably small though seeing as palpating your neck didn't show a lump I can only assume. It's not super serious though and somewhat common. They will probably drain some fluid from the cyst and test it for cancer cells. Then if all checks out they can remove it if it's causing you problems.

Many people have cysts on their thyroids. When you go back to the doctor he will help you out in what you need to do. I have been battling thyroid problems for a while and finally had mine removed. There are many options with thyroid problems. Just wait and see what the doctor recommends.

My mother also had a cyst on her thyroid. It may be cancerous. Although it does seem quite scary, it is nothing compared to other cancers. They'll just have to remove either the cyst or your entire thyroid gland. then you'll have to take these pills for the rest of your life to balance your metabolism.

No worries. A cyst isn't serious and can come and go. When you go in for your appointment the doctor most likely will put you on meds and you can ask any questions at that time. Make your list now so you don't forget anything. If it were serious I'm sure the nurse would have gotten you in to see the doc sooner, so relax.
