hello all- I had read a good portion of this thread when I started having thyroid issues last yr and remeber seeing a ref to a good site for more info. Someone here said there was One that had forums, had nice people on it that would answer questions.kind of like here.....I am wondering if any of you might know which site was being recommended?
I am going for my 4th ultrasound, 1st and 3rd were done 5 months apart at the same place and showed no difference in growths. I had another,2nd, done at my 2nd dr office(the first closed his door with no notice)in betwwen no change in six=ze but wanted a biopsy on the other side. Again benign. Insurance changed and had to go to new dr-he just did an ultrasound in office and said 1 nodule has grown rom 3.5 cm to 4 cm. wants to talk surgery or another biopsy as he said its unusual for a begeing nodule to grow that fast. I am now going to have another ultrasound done at the original imaging center where first and 3rd were done to make sure of growth.
Blood work shows normal thyroid function. That is why I am looking for more info. I want to see what experiences people have had with surgery for when a nodule is getting to large, how large until commonly taken out, see what I can expect med wise, recovery...things like that.
Thanks again for input!
