Hi everyone,

I am considering having a large cyst on my thyroid removed by "Ethanol ablation", has anyone undergone such treatment? If yes, were there secondary effects and was the treatment effective?

I have been interested in this for a while. I have a thyroglossal cyst and have been researching alternatives to surgery. So far I haven't found anywhere in the UK offering this. Have you??
