Hi everyone in December I had MRI scan there they found right thyroid enlargement,my GP send me for scan,there it was found I am having 2 nodules.After 3 weeks they have called me for fine needle aspiration scan. Went to GP she says my blood test what was done in November is all fine but she wants me to go for scan.I was told I might have hypothyroidism or big C.I am very worried and scared 3 years back I had total hysterectomy and not taking any hormones,I also have endometriosis due to this my hysterectomy was done.Can any one here give me any advice please. Thanks

Don't be scared. If something may be not quite right it's better to get it sorted. I've had an FNA and the worst thing was having to keep still! Just a small prick as the needle goes in but because the fluid is more syrupy for want of a better word it has to be drawn out slowly. Doesn't take long but it feels longer. Then I had to press on it for a while but everything was fine.

Nodules can be cancer or benign and usually if benign they are left. Cancer they may decide best to take out that side of your thyroid gland and you may well have to go on medication. Cancer is usually contained if that is the outcome so probably no further treatment needed other than taking it out. I've not had that outcome but I'm told the operation , if needed, is not a problem.

Hi can’t give you advice however I have just had a large module removed surgically.I am waiting for results but keeping everything crossed. I was frightened about the operation but I am pleasantly surprised how I am recovering. Also the scar is healing nicely and not as bad as I thought it would be. My mother had the same op years ago and her scar was far worse! Presume this is the advances we have made in surgery/medicine. Keep in touch. Keep strong x
