I just don't know what I'm supposed ...

Here's a little background on me. My name is Leslie, I am 21 years old. I just recenly got married and had a baby girl. Shortly after that I noticed a lump on the front of my neck. I promptly went to the doctor to get examined. All my thyroid levels were normal. I was sent in later for an ultrasound of the thyroid. From the results they decided to do a biopsy. The biopsy results were inconclusive as they said, but they were pretty sure it wasn't cancer. They said it was a nodule that would, should, disapear on its own. This was in May. I was then told to come back in six months to get a recheck ultrasound.
It's now November and I get the ultrasound. There are changes. According to my doc I have some options. First, he refers me to an endocronologist. I just received a call from them that I go on December 14th. Secondly, they could just do another biopsy to see what's up. I don't really want to do that unless necessary, I'm sure some of you know biopsie aren't that pleasant. Lastly, if I say the word, he would just go in and remove the part of the thyroid that is giving me trouble. I told him surgery is my absolute last resort. On my own, I scheduled an appointment with a more, natural doc. I go to see him on the 15th of December.
So...here's my problem. I think the lump is getting bigger daily. I think it's constricting my airway and esophagus. I am now getting winded doing daily activities because I don't think I'm getting enough air. I can't take my vitamins without it being a huge ordeal because it just feels like they won't fit. I am in shape, I usually exercise at least twice a week. But I've had to stop that because a couple of days ago I tried, and ended up not being able to breath. I sit here and I just feel it in my throat. I don't know what to do! Am I just supposed to sit here and wait till my throat closes up? Cause that's what it feels like. I don't want surgery and I don't want chemo if it is cancer. But if this thing stops me from breathing and eating, what other choice do I have but to get it cut out? I don't know if I have TIME for any natural remedy. I look at my little girl and cry. Sometimes I think I owe it to her just to get the quick fix of surgery so I can guarantee to be there for her. What would you do? I feel lost.

This is a reply to # 337,443Hi. It kind of sounds like what my dad experienced. He started to cough up blood and had difficulty breathing. The Docs thought it was something related to the lungs"Cold" Well after a years time went by his thyroid had grown threw his windpipe cutting off his air supply making it difficult to breath. Its was a very slow growing cancer type"pappillary" which mean he could have had it for years!, but this type doesn't usually grow inwards but out.
So they had to cut the thyroid out to reconstruct the windpipe which made for a long surgery compared to a regular thyroid removal. BUt we changed diet and the remaing cancer cells were gone after a year follow up look at post below.
But you should get it checked out and you can change it around with proper nutrition and ion mineral intake including Iodine which lacks in a lot of diets.

MoreThis is a reply to # 337,443Keep the appointment with the endocronologist and at least let him check you out and
see what he thinks. A good endocronologist can work near miracles. THEN if he finds something and you want to treat it naturally, come back here and get some
opinions.
Low thyroid can cause just a 'swelling' in your neck...and all it is...is fluid.
Getting your thyroid to working properly...however you choose to do it...will make
the swelling go away. Now, without seeing your neck...I can't say if that's what
your problem is or not. But when you press on the 'lump' does it feel soft?
Also...is it on the side of your neck...in the front where a goiter would be...or
on the sides where the neck connects to your shoulders?
I hope you will go to this endocronologist and let him do his own tests...then come
back here and tell us what you found out. Keep us posted. kathryn

This is a reply to # 337,447The lump is on the side of my neck. I would say probably attached to the left lobe of my thyroid gland. Right now, the lump feels super hard. Six months ago and even 2 weeks ago it was soft and moveable. It seems just recently I woke up feeling like I had something stuck in my throat, and when I felt the lump it was suddenly hard. That's the weird thing, this lump seems to change on a daily basis. What could that be? When I had the biopsy done 6 months ago they got mostly fluid out. Now I don't know what's going on with the dang thing!

This is a reply to # 337,443The good news is that even if it is thyroid cancer, they don't use chemo on that type of cancer. That's why you usually see an endocrinologist instead of an oncologist. I found out I had thyroid cancer when I went for something else and the Dr. felt the lump. They told me that if you're going to get cancer, that's the kind to get because they can just cut out your thyroid (and you take a little pill every day to replace it). I've been doing all sorts of alternative things - making organic vegetable juice and trying to eat mostly raw foods - but I also let them cut out my thyroid. In my case the cancer had spread to the lymph nodes, and the bones and lungs are next. So you don't want to ignore it. Maybe it's not cancer at all! I read that almost all thyroid growths aren't cancer. What has amazed me through all this is how important the thyroid is - I never knew anything about it.

This is a reply to # 337,448If you don't mind me asking, what were your symptoms, and how long did this whole process take for you? How long did it take before docs realized it was cancer and that it had spread? Thank you for responding!

This is a reply to # 337,451Hi Leslie, I hope you keep us informed on what happens.
I didn't know I had any symptoms. I just went to have my gallbladder out after having attacks every day for months, in spite of doing many liver/galbladder cleanses and flushes, both Dr. Clarke's and Dr. Schulze 's (and 2 for kidney), and the surgeon noticed a lump - and said "what is that!?". I had an ultrasound and the nurse said the same thing, as did the neurologist she brought in to look. I had a fine needle biopsy that bounced off the tumor and took a chunk of muscle because the thyroid had calcified with the cancer and the Dr. said it was hard as a rock. It was a CT scan that showed it was definitely cancer that had spread beyond the thyroid.
The endocrinologist has been very interested in whether I had problems swallowing - that can be related to thyroid problems. All of my problems have been with the left side of my neck - the whole thyroid was involved, and they removed 8 lymph nodes then a scan showed the cancer had spread to other ones. I've made carrot/beet/cucumber juice for 15 years, and try to eat mostly organic raw foods. I'm still doing that - and I've added kale/romaine lettuce/celery to the juice. It was only after they removed my thyroid and I started on Synthroid that I realized how tired I'd been. I know this is a cancer alternatives forum, and I do believe that the alternatives I'm doing are making a difference - I just got scared when they said the word Cancer and felt that I had to have my thyroid out. That was the right way to go for me.
I think what has made the most difference for me is ozone. I'm ozonating six 24-oz glasses of water a day (2 first thing, 2 mid-morning and 2 mid-afternoon - on an empty stomach), with distilled water I make from our well water. I can't believe how much more energy I have, after only a few weeks. I've been doing lots of reading about it on curezone's oxygen forum.
Good luck and I hope everything will work out well! I believe that we are born with lessons we've set out to learn, and having cancer for me was to teach me how to be a healer - I'm now a 2nd level Reiki master, and I've read at least dozen books on spiritual healing. This experience has also taught me to live in the present moment and let go of the past.

This is a reply to # 337,443Leslie, Im sorry you are going this. For what its worth I want to share my experience.
I found a lump in my neck a couple weeks ago. I thought it might be a lymph node but my hubby didnt think so. I didnt want to go get it checked out, Im so tired of the doctors now, up to end of october I was going to the doctor every other day.
They had done an 'emergency' c-section because my water broke at 7months to make a long story short: immediately I had kidney failure, a fatal liver disease, a collapsed right lung and multiple seizures - it only by a miracle from God that the baby and I lived.
anyways.. I attest the lump to all the meds, xrays, drugs etc that I went throughl.
I started juicing carrots and anything I could add to it for weeks. I had been reading on The Master Cleanser for a year and started 3 days ago.
There is no more lump as of yesterday. funny thing is I attest it to the MC. not the juicing so much - but every body is different.
I would say do a cleanse and trust God.
Curezone has helpful people and tons of priceless information. I know you will get through this.
take care
Terri

MoreThis is a reply to # 337,449Leslie...If I were you...I'd try The Master Cleanse and the juicing and see if you
get the same results as Terri did.
Now if it were 'me'...I'd think the carrot juice was the thing that did the trick...
but like Terri said..."everybody's different".
You have a couple of weeks before you see either one...and I hope you see the thyroid doctor...But I also hope you'll go ahead and try Terri's method.

This is a reply to # 337,443Hi Leslie.
Firstly, non-invasive tests can be fine and help you see where you're at...that is ALL I would ever use the medical mainstream model for...cause ALL drugs are toxic and do not lead towards health but to disease.
Now lets get to the goodstuff. How to help your body heal istself. First check out this link and watch the free movie on line there. Healing Epiphany
It's all about getting toxins OUT and nutrients IN. The right nutrients...natural nutrients teaming with life force energy (which most suppliments do not contain).
If you would like me to outline some things for you, let me know.
