thyroid ultrasound results
Should/ can you do a FNA on a 4mm nodule. Dr.'s opinion is hyperplastic nodule.I also have 3mm cyst both on the left lobe.Any opinions would be appreciated
No, really the norm is 6 months, it should not grow too fast, and maybe not at all, but they must monitor it and if it does grow significantly in 6 months, then they will deal with it then.
Thank you for your comments. I will be rechecking in 6 months.Does anyone think I should go earlier?
They don't usually do it unless the nodule is at least 1 cm. It is hard to hit it with a needle even under ultrasound guidance when it is so small. My sister had it done on a 8mm nodule, that was after I found my cancer, they wanted to test her asap, they did find cancer in her as well.
