Another Medical Test

Once you start looking you will always find something. My husband was having pulsation tinnitus and was concerned it could lead to something more lethal. So he went to see an ENT physician. She ordered a CT scan after his hearing test and ear check were done without any obvious findings. Of course a CT scan shows more than the area in question. The results were unremarkable except for a nodule on his thyroid. Of course that can’t be left unattended. Even though he is not having any symptoms, an ultrasound was ordered. It seems we have been making it a habit to have a test or a doctor visit every week since January of this year not only for this but for a variety of issues. Of course the ultrasound showed a potential threat. So now a biopsy was scheduled. In the mean time my husband has been reading every article under the sun about this issue. And being a surgeon he thinks beyond the usual and plans for the worst. So this morning I am sitting in the waiting room and it seems to be taking forever. Now what?
