THYROID NODULES & OTHER CYSTS

[cyn1969]

Hi I've been having symptoms like sensitivity to heat, tired all the time, nausea etc.. Also I have fibrocystic breast disease, had fibroid tumors,size of lemons, i've had ovarian cysts, it's just weird that I have had so manycysts throughout can this all lead to cancer. My 5 nodules measuring 5mm i have one more month before they do an ultrasound the funny thing is my blood work was all normal but the ultrasound found the nodules plus it's pretty enlarged. I'm not sure what to do next who to go to, oh and I have fibromyalgia on top of all this I feel depressed.

I had four nodules and all my levels were within normal range, except I had positive TPOab, which indicated hashimoto's...I also had cancer.  My nodules were NOT cancerous, they found the cancer after a lobectomy in the thyroid tissue itself.  Get the ultrasound, it may or may not give you an answer, then I would also work right now on scheduling an FNA biopsy if you have any nodules that measures over 1 cm.  Does each measure 1 cm or one measure 5 cm? With your history, I would consider taking at least one side out and testing for cancer.
