I have been seen by my doctor for 3 years now.
3 times I had the U/S and FNB
FNB Normal.
U/S showed the goiter has grown a bit.
Each time, I've asked what causes the goiter to grow, doctor says I don't know.
I've asked about meds, surgery, etc... he has said no, we will just monitor it.
Well at this appt, I asked if we could go to monitoring it once every 2 years instead of once a year, cause he always says well it has grown a bit and I figured 2 years would be better than once a year, plus I wouldn't have to feel like this was just another one of those annual exams you have to do as a female.
Well, he then tells me that sounds good as long as the U/S and FNB are the same.
Now he is telling me that I need to come back in 3 months for another U/S, 6 months for another FNB, because the goiter is still growing and also he is putting me on meds.
Why couldn't he do this 3 years ago? Is he just doing this now to keep me as his patient, or is there something seriously wrong with the goiter going from 1.93 to 1.99 in one year.
HELP!!!!
I guess I should also add that my hormone levels are normal.
Thanks
