Thanks for your support... I more concerned with the nodules on my thyroid and in my esophagus. cancer runs in both sides of my family..
I have nodules on my thyroid. I had an ultrasound done. Diagnosis: Hashimoto's Thyroid. Please don't assume the worst (i.e. cancer). Nodules are very common in Hashimoto's. Herniated esophagus is a separate issue. They will probably do an Upper GI (painless) to diagnose and will follow up with you on whatever care you may (or may not) need short and long term. I had two hernias. Not something to be scared about right now. Hope I've helped you.
