Thank you guys so much! I was suppose to go tomorrow morning for ultra sound but the other test required I be off of my Levothyroxine for 6 weeks so we are waiting until then!
Thanks again

Hashimoto's is the most common cause of hypothyroidism and can be associated with goiter/nodules - ultrasound is important (I-123 scan seldom helpful) to look at size/nodules and TSH testing is key to determine if the thyroid function is appropriate/normal.
probably whants to make sure how big the tyroid glaind is and also to see if you have any nodules or lesions they can usually see if there are nodule
and the centimeters of nodule and to see if it pressing on the nerves my nodule i have several hypoechoic lesions and i wonder what thyroid stom is do i think i been going through symptoms were to see if they are the same. all the scan tells them if they nodules and how big your thyroi gain gland so they can measure both sides to see if there and elargement
hope you okay katie you will be fine
Also why is he ordering a scan?
