NED THE NODULE
I've decided to name the thing currently taking up residence on my thyroid.
Ned the Nodule.
I mean, why not? Right?
Today, Ned and I were to be getting a biopsy to see just how nasty he really is. But Ned really didn't want to cooperate. He kept moving around whenever the doctor was pressing and nudging him, and seeing as he is very near my artery ... a major artery that feeds my brain and stuff ... my doctor decided it would be better if I had the needle biopsy done at the hospital with finer-tuned instruments than what he had in his office.
So, Ned and I will be heading to the hospital to be poked and prodded once more. And considering I won't be able to eat or drink anything after midnight prior to the needle biopsy, I'm not sure about Ned, but I will be SERIOUSLY crabby without my coffee.
Stand back, folks. That's all I've got to say!

Nodule with increased blood flow has 22 % of being cancerous; if no blood flow inside is noted, and sample indicates watery colloid, macrophages, and no mirofollicular sheets or clusters it is benign hyperplastic nodule.
Best of luck, dear Professor!!
My physician is guessing it's benign ... thanks for all the technical info O., whoever you are, but not really necessary. :) Unless of course, you were trying to stress me out again. :)
