The saga of the alien egg sac continues!
After intense clerical failure from my GP's former (for obvious reasons) nurse we FINALLY got in to see the endocrinologist. He seemed a decent sort and also recommended surgery, both for my left side and for the multiple smaller (as in only detectable by ultrasound) egg sacs on my right side. He thinks it'll be a total or near-total thyroidectomy, which will most likely involve me having to start taking thyroid hormones as well to compensate for what I'm losing. Since I'm close to hypothyroidic as it is, it might be beneficial. We're going in to see the surgeon on Thursday, because the endocrinologist sat on him over the phone and convinced him to get me in quick, and then ideally I can have my throat slit at some point next week before I have to go back to school. Huzzah!
