My DD(3.5) has just been diagnosed with a thyroglossal duct cyst. Other than a large lump in her neck she is asymptomatic. I have been advised that surgery is the only course of action. I am terrified of this and find it difficult to contemplate putting her through such a stressful experience when there - at this moment in time - is nothing wrong with her (my DD has a communication disorder which would make the whole process even more challenging). Has anyone had any experience of this condition? Any advise or opinions? Anyone know of someone who's not had surgery? Any help/support would be appreciated...
