Nodules? I have not got an answer Please help!

by lisadee48, Jul 22, 2007 04:41PM
I go often to my doc for Diabetes.  My sis, dad and brother have Hasimotos.  Doc is always keeping track of my numbers.  For about a year now she has said that my left lobe can be palpated but my numbers have all remined in the normal range.  She decided to get a baseline ultrasound.  I have 2 nodules that are complex cysts.  They are 1.9cm(the one she felt) and on the other side 1.4cm.  She wants to do a scan and then a fnb.  She said her gut feeling is that I have Hashis thyroiditis.  NOW....with no blood work irregularities are these 2 tests going to tell her that I have Hasis that has not presented itself.   Needless to say, I am afraid of the cancer thing as well even though the odds are low.  ANY HELP?????

I don't know about Hashi's at all but if the nodules are cystic, they are not cancer. Cancerous nodules are solid but the cysts can be drained if they are causing a problems. Hope that helps a little bit

Thanks....Margie they are complex cysts not totally cystic.  I am going to get the radiologists report today to see what it says exactly.
