My Experience

I had been having hearing difficulties and dizziness. My doctor referred me to a head and neck specialist, who determined that the dizziness was a side effect of a medication, but during the exam the doctor felt a lump on my throat. He immediately did a needle biopsy, numbing the area before doing the biopsy. There was no pain, and it was just like having an injection. The biopsy found abnormal cells in the thyroid in the right lobe, and we scheduled surgery.
