      I took ippi 10mg. Had really bad rashes. Goat milk soap helps with that. 5 years later I’m doing well.

      I did yervoy 10mg and got very sick. Nothing like your experiencing with the thyroid. I had a fever for 15 straight days with rash all over body. ( feet. Arms)I took a week off of yervoy then took my final dose. Prayers its alot to think about. Its been 5 years since I took it.

      Thank you for your reply. Have a nice Christmas. Based on my previous pet and my current ultrasound the surgeon says nothing needs to be done. Its just a abscess. Also it has been going down almost back to normal looking.

      Ultrasound revealed I had this same oval shaped structure with no vascularity 1 year ago according to a previous pet. Ultrasound said most likely a hematoma or abscess. Still have to talk with Dr. If they even want me to do anything since I had it all along.

      I was a nervous wreck too. It’s ok to feel like that but try to get some help. I was given some meds to calm my anxiety. Listen you your doctors and if your passionate get it biopsy.

      Derm said it felt like a broken cyst. Derm Lance’d it open to see if anything came out and derm said not much came out. When I did get home though it appeared alot more deflated and softer in general area. I had a ultrasound and will have follow up with surgeon just based on my history.

      Your health is number 1. I believe you qualify for disability with that diagnosis. Im stage 3b but we have a family friend who was stage 4 but now is ned. That was 18 years ago and still going strong.
