the biopsy
The morning of the biopsy we were both pretty nervous. But we both went to work for a few hours.
When it was time to go, I picked up a Prius from City CarShare , two Mango smoothies from Jamba Juice and then picked up Enrique at his office.
We drove to the hospital on California and Cherry streets and registered for his appointment.
This time the technician was sweet and professional. He was joined by a radiologist who we both liked immediately.
They gave him another sonogram and told us that there was a nodule filled with liquied and others that were soft tissue or calcified. This was bad news. Also the fact that Enrique is a young male wasn't a good sign (apparently benign nodules are vey common in women).
They explained that they would put a needle in Enrique's thyroid about four times to remove liquid and tissue for testing. Enrique hates needs.
90% of the time they get a definitive result; the other 10% they need to redo the test.
