Good Morning Thyroid

I hate it when the phone rings in the morning before I'm moving. Mom called the hotel room and said that they were taking her for a thyroid ultrasound this morning. She wasn't clear on all of the reasons, but the doctor has been in and she said we have alot to talk about.
I spoke with the PA from Dr Reeves office. The MRI was clear but the CT Scan showed a 3 cm mediastinal mass that appears the pressing on her esophagus and possibly compressing part of the main bronchus of her lung. So now the question is.....does she have cancer from another site? Is the renal tumor secondary or primary?
This mass would explain her swallowing problems. So they will get some blood, and try some other medication for her swallowing. We still expect to go home today. If she can swallow.
