I recently was to my urogolist for yearly exam and CT scan. This year I had a chest xray included and doctor called me with results, told me a mass showed up in thryoid, called it a goiter. He is referring me to another specialist, however, after research about this doctor indicates he is a vascular surgeon. My question, why is he referring me to a surgeon, wouldn't it good to see a thryroid specialist instead to start with? I'm all new at this, I have no symptoms at all and it was a total surprise. Could it be nothing at all since I have no symptoms? I'm not sure where to start...Thanks in advance for your help?
