Thyroid issues

7 years ago I was diagnosed with a benign nodule on my thyroid. Yesterday I was told that it has grown enough that they are recommending that I have it removed. When I asked if a benign tumor can become cancerous, the doctor said that they are concerned at how fast it is growing. They did not mention the word cancer but it is now more than lingering in the back of my mind. I have told myself not to do research on line but that certainly fell on deaf ears. The hardest part is I have no one to bounce this off of. I used to be able to talk to Jim. This is when it is hard to not have him around. I would have also talked to Zoe-but sigh-she is hanging with Jim now. So what is a woman to do? I am seeing my surgeon in a few weeks and I will talk to him but I also think I am going to seek out a second opinion. I hate it when life gets hard. Sigh.
