Hi! I 21f posted a few weeks ago leading up to a biopsy on a TR4 2.7 cm nodule that I thought had been getting smaller. When it came time for the biopsy, it actually measured a little bit larger at 3 cm which could just be based on different physician interpretations. The biopsy went well and confirmed no malignant cells!
Now, I am slightly concerned about a rise in compressive symptoms. The nodule is fairly close to my throat/airway. Leading up to my biopsy I did have a little cough and some constant throat clearing. And of course after I was pretty sore and swollen. My appointment was on 4/17 and even after the swelling and pain have gone away, my cough seems to have only gotten worse. I don't feel it as much if I'm sitting straight up, but when I am laying down or looking down (which I frequently do at work) I feel pressure on my airway. It doesn't matter if I am on either side or my back, it just always feels like there's something pushing or like there's something caught in my throat.
I'm wondering when it would be a good idea to bring this up to my pcp. She knows about the throat clearing and the small cough already, but not that it has gotten worse. I just don't know if there's anything that can be done until it starts causing more issues like true difficulty breathing or swallowing.
