Good afternoon,
Went to the new endocrinologist this morning. He did an ultrasound, and said that I have two issues. Hyperthyroidism caused by Graves disease, although I'm not convinced it caused by Graves since my TSH count is low, but T3, T4 and antibodies all come back normal. I also have what appears as tumor on the upper left side of my thyroid. He gave me the two options
1. Start taking meds for the Graves, and have the tumor biopsied in two weeks and take it from there or
2. Go for surgery to have the tumor removed and then start on meds for the rest of my life.
I'm really not sure what to do, the tumor is of medium size, but I don't have the actual size
Any advice is much appreciated.
Michelle
