Follicular neoplasm
I have a large follicular neoplasm plus 4 other thyroid nodules. My doctor advises a TT. Would you agree?
Out of 100 nodules that were diagnosed as follicular neoplasm 17% are cancerous, 75% are benign and the rest are colloid nodules misdiagnosed as a neoplsm.
The follicular neplasm usually has scant colloid and mirofollicular structure of cells
the probability of cancer is higher if other nodules are having "microcalcification" and abnormal lymph nodes are present.
The final decision about complete removal must be recommended by a doctor who is an expert and saw many similar cases.

When I had the biopsy the doctor only did the large nodule. He said in order to really tell they need to remove it and test it further. If I want to leave the other 4 nodules I can.....but they would need to be biopsied regularly, and it seems like just getting them all removed seems prudent. I am really stressing over this. Do you know if TT has side effects or the replacement meds have any. Thanks alot. I just found this out on Monday!
