hi, i am 33 years old female ,underwent left hemithyroidectomy 18 years ago. One month age ultrasound reported i have solid mid pole nodul with a tiny calcific focus.My blood test came back normal.yesterday i got my thyroid scan result as well that said suspicious for hot nodule. but raiu is of doubtfull significant , particularly given recent normal thyroid function and different from ultrasound.
I am wondering scan can be wrong?
I am so confused and stress out because the specialist give me appointment for end of October.
can some body helpppp meeee pleassssss

Due to the confusion between the two results, if you could get a thyroid scan, where they use radioactive iodine, that can determine if it is indeed a hot nodule.  The test I mentioned previously, fine needle aspiration or FNA, Mayo Clinic says is the most sensitive for being able to tell if nodules are cancerous or not.  See PM.

nodules have nothing to do with blood tests...my blood tests were normal, I still had cancer.  Why did you have the hemi?  Tiny Calcifications are more likely to be cancerous.  If the nodule is over 1 cm, you can have it biopsied, but you may not get a decisive result.  I know it is easy for me to say this, but relax, even if it is cancer, it is usually so slow growing that you can wait a few months to be retested.  I would ask for a biopsy.

Can they order and can you get a fine needle aspiration of the nodule prior to your appointment?
