Q: Thyroid Nodules
asked by: dianebrdntn4 on September 19th, 2007

I was just diagnosed with 8 to 10 thyroid nodules. I am wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation. Have not had my follow up appointment with my ENT yet, so I am wondering what to expect next?

Hi!

It's been a while since I've been through this, but the next steps will probably involve finding out if the nodules may be cancerous. It sounds scary but more often than not they are benign. Do you have any other symptoms?

Please keep us posted.

Regards,

Hi Diane,
Have you seen another doctor for followup on this? You should find a good endocrinologist. Keep us posted!

Hi,
I am going through the same thing although I went through it 5 years ago and had a goiter 3 centimeters in size and I ended up having a partial thyroidectomy. Now the right side is enlarged and I have 10 nodules; 1 being 1 centimeter and the rest smaller. I am having neck pain, a little bit of a sore throat and mouth, and have had trouble swallowing, sometimes having to swallow a couple times before my drink/food goes down. I go to the ENT in 2 weeks. Let me know if you hear anything before then and we can compare.
