Brandi, I'm extremely relieved that it is not cancer.

But, I do have to otherwise wonder about the decision to wait 9 months for a recheck. Thyroids don't just get enlarged for no reason, and the fact that they haven't determined a reason is somewhat bothersome, at least to me, especially since you have some symptoms seemingly consistent with abnormal thyroid function. In the very least, I'd suggest talking to your doc (I forget; are you seeing an endo?) about having bloodwork redone in a few months. Does your thyroid still feel enlarged at all to you? Is it impairing your breathing or swallowing?
