I will have RFA performed on my nodule

Hello everyone, in the mean time I got the results back of the biopsy of my big thyroid nodule (4,8 x 2,6 x 1,9 cm) and it is benign! In a few weeks time (date not set yet) I will have radio frequent ablation in Holland. I will have to get in sober (no eating and drinking that day). I will get a local anaesthesia and a calming drug. Two patches will be placed on my upper thighs to guide the radiofrequent energy. After a couple of hours if everything is OK, I can leave the hospital. I will keep you updated.
