Thanks for your reply. So sorry to hear of your experience. I hope that you are now much better. I have had four FNA biopsys, but the result was always inconclusive as they were unable to take enough cells. This has been going on for months and quite stressful, but recently I had a second scan which showed no change in the size of the nodule so I've tried to put cancer out of my thoughts. Your comments are interesting to me though as I constantly have a very dry sore throat and seem to be fighting off a "heady cold" every 2 weeks or less.
PS, what tipped me off to trouble was tiredness, hoarseness and swallowing issues, hot/cold, night sweats, wacky periods, puffy eyes, weight gain and/or loss, and blood pressure spikes. My sis had some of the same, it was really a shocker when she found out.
I had four thyroid nodules, all my hormone levels were normal, I had cancer. The cancer was in my tyroid tissue, not the nodules. I also have a sister who I made get tested, turns out she had normal function, one nodule, and cancer too. Please get an FNA biopsy, Mine did not reveal cancer, I had to have a lobectomy before they found mine, then a TT followed by RAI. My sister, however, got lucky, they found the cancer during her FNA biopsy, she is now scheduled for her TT. You can't be too careful!
