Update. All went well for the operation, she was given a full medical before the OP, then we had the agonizing wait for 10 days for the biopsy report, well that was yesterday and the result was negative, and there were no problems found on the medical report, we are over the moon. We would like you for your support, and encouragement, Thanks Sheryl, Mike, and others that contributed.

Thanks, Mike.

Thanks Sheryl, your correct, the cost 70,000 Baht all in.

We had an appointment with the Surgeon today, the decision was to remove the right thyroid gland, then after a biopsy on that, decide what course to take, the operation we take place on Saturday.

Sheryl, could we now go back to Lampliamat Hospital with the paper work we now have and ask for a referral with not having to wait 3.5 hours to see a Doctor, it would be nice if we could show Dr Preeyapat and the Surgeon some of the reply's here, but I think that would be inappropriate.

Mike, I can not thank you enough for all the information you have shared with us, gives us a great insight into what procedures we can expected in the coming days/weeks, may I have the audacity to ask if you was in Government or Private Hospital, if Private what was the cost for everything in those five days,

Sorry here is some more information, IMPRESSION; 1. Enlargement right thyroid gland. 2. Right thyroid mass(4.0x. 1.7.9cm) with internal hypoechoic and punctate calcification in inferolateral aspect. about 1.6x0.8cm:TI-RADS 5. 3.Two TI-RADS3 nodule in right upper pole (1.8cm) and left upper pole(0.5)cm OVERALL TI-RADS 5: Highly suspicious, FNA is suggested if size :1.0cm.

I thank you for your reassuring post.

We had an appointment with the Doctor today, the blood test came back as normal, but not good news on the ultrasound. Ti- rads 5. although the Doctor said 20to 30%Cancer, I google it, and it said 85%, will be seeing the Consultant Surgeon on Wednesday

Ok after reading all the reply's and given a rough idea of the cost, we didn't know one could go to a private and get referred back to a gov hospital, with the Doc at the gov hospital not losing face, Khon Kaen is to far, we are willing to go to Korat, although my wife is worried now I've read all reply's to her, because after going to Lampliamat hospital and being told there were no abnormality's she is thinking the worst now, She wasn't given any medication, We wait for your reply as to the next move, so the tests would be for the Thyroid, Liver, and Kidneys, can this all be done in one day. Thanks all for your reply's.

I apricate your concern, it is a little confusing but we will stick the system for now, It was a different Doc this time. As for going private we would want to know the cost in writing before we would consider It.

Went for the result of the blood test today, Doc said no abnormality's show, wife said she mentioned Goiter, my wife also has a slight yellowing of her eyes, so Doc made an appointment for two weeks time for further blood tests, on the Thyroid, Liver, and Kidneys.

She says not really, but she can feel there's something there.

Yes she did, and that it was on the thyroid.
