help with thyroid ultrasound results

I had an untrasound done and I no longer have insurance and wanted someone to help me with my results. They are as follows FINDINGS  Right thyroid lobe measures 4.3 x 1.8 x 2.0 cm. Left thyroid lobe measures 4.3 x 1.6 x 1.9 cm. Isthmus is 4 mm thick. Multiple, at least 6, hypoechoic thyroid nodules are identified, some of which are partially calcified and some of which may represent cysts. Largest nodules measure 10 - 12 mm in diameter.   IMPRESSION Multiple nodules in an enlarged thyroid gland. This would be in keeping with multinodular goiter. Correlation with thyroid function studies and/or nuclear scintigraphy is recommended.  My TSH was on the lower end of the range but is not below so the doctor says not to worry about the TSH results.Just to have it checked every 6 months. But that was before they found the nodules. Not sure what to do since I no longer have insurance. Please help.

I am in the same boat...I have a slightly heterogenous thyroid and multiple bilateral nodules that are slightly hypoechoic.  I haven't had insurance for years, but when I explain this to the doctors, they are more than willing to make payment arrangements.  Don't be afraid to ask your endroconologist.  Take care and God bless you.

I agree with Angela.
You need to go to see an Endocrinologist about the nodules.
