Hello,
I have thyroid multi-nodular goiter, normal lab work but with complex & solid nodules. The one time they tried to biopsy in Aug 2010, the Endo hit something he shouldn't have & I ended up with a massive hematoma in ICU. Due to that incident, they didn't want to touch me for about 5 months so I could properly heal. While waiting, I had CT's, MRI's & US's which showed 4 enlarged lymph nodes around the thyroid that have not went away. I've been on 3 rounds of antibiotics & they don't shrink. Back in Feb. 2011, I noticed enlarged lymph nodes in my groin area, both sides, but painful on the right. After 4 useless doctor appts, a doctor sent me for a pelvic US which found a 2 cm ruptured complex ovarian cyst with septation & fluid in the culdesac of the uterus. I have severe periods, especially since my 3rd child so I didn't notice when the rupture occured. I have another US scheduled in a few weeks to rule out ovarian cancer now. The doc is also sending me to a surgeon for a lymphnode biopsy in the groin right side, as he is concerned now that it is larger than an inch and has been for 4 mos. Recent labs show postive for Epstein barr virus (mono) at some point in the past - not active, Low Vit D 25, Low Potassium & Low Red blood count. Doctor said we have to rule out lymphoma first, then address the complex ovarian ruptured cyst & then back to the ENT, probably for a total thyroidectomy. I've also lost about 15 lbs this past year, so now I am down to 115. I am a female, 35 yr. mother of 3. Any thoughts, similar situations or ideas what could be going on?
