No Biopsy, Surgery

I went to the doctors but he did not do the biopsy.  He does not feel that it is cancer, but it has to come out.  It is a two inch nodule that is pressing on my wind pipe.  Surgery is set for March 21th.  He is going to take the nodule and half of the thyroid and determine if it is cancer.  If it is cancer he will take the entire thyroid and I will be on medicine for the rest of my life.  We are moving next weekend and I have surgery on Monday.   I will be out of work for at least a week.  I am excited for the break but wish it was under different circumstances.
