Asked By:00fhaz in Scotland, United Kingdom

Hi i have booked my breast augmentation last year for august 2022 after years of breastfeeding they are not the same, how ever i found a nodule in my neck and had an ultrasound to which it may turn out to be thyroid cancer, my ent consultant has said it appears as it is at a very early stage and they may need to remove part of the thyroid but there is no rush as the nodule is very small they have done a biopsy to which we are awaiting results, is it safe to go ahead with BA?
