Small Steps - you've been in my prayers since I read the first post. I was in a rush that day and didn't post. I've been meaning to tell you how happy I am that it all worked out. and I can relate - I had a bit of a scare last October. I woke up one morning and could hardly swallow because of a huge lump in the front of my throat that seemingly appeared overnight. Short version - I have 3 nodules on my thyroid that are completely benign and the "choking" sensation went away as they shrank in size. I just have to have a sonogram every year to keep an eye on it. But I really do know how you feel. Waiting for blood and biopsy reports can be nerve wracking. I'm so glad all is well with you. You are always so upbeat and positive. I enjoy reading your posts.
