Thyroid nodule THY3F - has anyone tried Afirma molecular testing to get a conclusive diagnosis and rule out surgery?

Hi there. I was wondering if anyone tried Afirma molecular testing for indeterminate thyroid nodules. My nodules are thy3f and MDT recommended total thyroidectomy. It drives me insane that i I can only have diagnosis after removing it! 

  • Hello Furtree

    I've had a look via the forum search function and unfortunately, I can't find any other posts where Afirma has been mentioned.

    If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    Best wishes,
