Soooo.........it's been a very long row to hoe lately. I've been reluctant to post.
Back at DIMBY time we thought Zeke had ringworm. Turned out that urgent care had misdiagnosed that, and it was Lyme's. We lost 10 days of antibiotic treatment because of that. Around the same time he had a routine ultrasound of his thyroid because of a genetic condition. That didn't go well. The report showed an enlarged thyroid, and nodules.
That got us a referral to Dartmouth. Unfortunately the PCP sent the referral to the wrong department so we lost about 10 days because doctors with an urgent referral just don't give a make the beast with two backs.
So we finally see an endocrinologist, and he says that he's not feeling what the ultrasound report indicated. I'm thinking...cool the kids OK. The doc orders another ultrasound.
Today we went back to Dartmouth for another ultrasound...same results.... Zeke has a 2.2 cm nodule on his thyroid.plus a hyperthyroid adenoma..
Not sure where I want to be... or what to think, but...
I think my kid has thyroid cancer...time will tell.
What's next.?..surgery?...most likely.
The joys of parenthood...
