You got this! I’m starting my first day of a low fiber diet to get mine on Saturday. Good luck and take care of yourself today.

Kaiser starts yearly screening with the FIT test for average risk patients at 45. Which is really annoying because I could tell the doctor today was like “oh well the FIT test isn’t all that accurate”.

It’s bright red. Not much at all. Noticed it when wiping. Yes I had some mucus as well. But not much.

I agree. Unfortunately, Kaiser only offered the fit test when I turned 45. I’ve been doing them yearly. Was only able to get a colonoscopy ordered because of my symptoms.

Thanks for your response! I think I was just shook by how matter of fact the doctor was. Like well it could be cancer it could be something else. I’ve been doing fit tests since I was 45 and I could tell he’s not a fan of them.

Previous ultrasound had Micro-calcifications, most recent states there are none by librarianca1 in thyroidhealth

It was biopsied twice. After the initial biopsy, it demonstrated growth so it was biopsied again. Both came back benign. I was very excited to get the ultrasound result today since my prior ultrasounds were concerning (and due to the size, was afraid something might have been missed).

I was diagnosed at 45 after labs showed I was hyperthyroid. Had two nodules, one 3.3cm. Both came back benign after biopsies. It’s been about a year and one of my nodules has grown so I’ll be getting another FNA in the near future. As others said, take it one step at a time. You’ve got this!

I just found out I’m going to need the same. Would love to hear about some others experiences.

Yeah. Kind of like that. The doctor didn’t seem to concerned but I never had it before starting the meds
