Q: Cyst not Cancer!
asked by: shannonekgs on August 7th, 2008

Wanted to post that my cyst tested not cancerous! There are still more nodules to small to biopsy. They ruled out a disease that starts with an "H" there seems to be no dianosis yet. I don't understand why I have all these cysts or nodules, fluid and solid filled for no reason?!?! I can get my thyroid removed or go in for ultrasoud every 6 months. Don't know what to do, cancer seems to run in my family. Thanks to everyone who answered my earlier posts! Shannon

Changing your diet could shrink your nodules. I HIGHLY recommend you call a good nutritionist and get an appointment right away.
In the meantime, start eating tons of fresh vegetables and fruit, all organic if possible. And don't eat ANY soy. Soy is notorious for causing thyroid problems. Check food labels carefully. Every bread and packaged food seems to have soy added these days! It's no wonder so many people have thyroid problems now.

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is probably the "H" disease you were thinking of.

OK, now go call that nutritionist. They do specific tests regular doctors don't do.

Good luck,

Honeycomb

Dear shannonekgs, Hi, I don't 'know' if you'll get this request or not since I'm reading this today, July 24th, 2009, and these 'Posts' are from 2008, but I'm hoping that somehow you will and pm me.
