Thoughts please

First post.  Great to read all of your experiences.

My bloods are normal, but my thyroid is enlarged with several 3cm nodules.  I feel very unwell and have been for a long time.

The Endocrinologist said that had to have it all removed 'just to be on the safe side', but I've seen the surgeon and he feels that there won't be any benefit to having it out and that it won't make me feel any better.  He's sending me to a top radiologist tomorrow for her opinion.

Have any of you had a TT with normal bloods?

Did your life improve afterwards, or was it made worse (as he's suggesting)?

  • Hello KimShady and welcome to the forum.

    How did you get on with the radiologist? I hope they were able to answer your questions and have helped you come to a decision about your treatment but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, you're welcome to give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. 

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will share their thoughts and experiences with you soon.

    All the best,
