I was told "given extensive history would do CT scan of chest without contrast to evaluate for extension of goiter into chest." Had TT (2 different surgeries because of nodules (5.2cm on last surgery 07") They tried I 131 but didn't shrink got bigger. Thyroidits after that and my TSH got to 111. Then US said its growing downward so they decided to take it out. BUT NOW.... TSH 0.03 for months so, they did another US and found something growing back. Have the ear pain,sore throat,dry cough just like before. UHHH
I FOUND A REPORT: (T T)
noted: L. thyroid had some nodular densities.
Increasing size of the nodule itself and the fact that it is invading the remaining thyroid
some fatty tissue in the area, which was suspicious for parathyroid, which was left undisturbed.
I had a Thyrogoblin of 599.1 before I-131 does that mean anything? back in 07
BUT the strange they is that I had a X RAY 8 months ago coz of hurting near sternum,upper chest are, but, they say they are fatty nodules, 3 near sternum. Would that have anything to do with the Thyroid problems?
I have few nodules also on back by spine said theyare fatty nodules. I guess I produce nodules. lol I would appreciate any input before I see the Dr. THANK YOU!!!
