yeppers I have 11 nodules and an enlarge side, can't remember right or left. I was getting an ultrasound every six months to watch for any changes, now its switched to annually, I also had a radioactive iodine test done to make sure they weren't cancerous. from the first ultrasound to the second I had a few more, started with 9, now 11, but the last ultrasound I didn't have any more, which is after I started treatment, they are fairly common especially where I live, near the great lakes, for whatever reason. my endo did put me on a low dose of levothyroxine to try to impede the growth which has worked so far. her thinking was that my thyroid was producing too much hormone and causing the nodules to grow and that supplementing might signal the thyroid to slow down on production. I go for another ultrasound in june so we will see if anything has changed then.

My endocrinologist put me on the treatment. Nodules are very common and unless there is concern about them having grown your insurance probably won't pay for a biopsy. I don't think radiologists treat that, they just perform the test, your physician or endo should be the one discussing any treatment with you.

Your endocrinologist will know more. All the radiologist knows is how to read scans. Don't stress about it, your Dr may send you for the radioactive iodine and thyroid uptake to check then function of your thyroid. But really all they can do is watch and if things change do something. They may never change size and be no issue. Only time will tell. But try not to worry, I was really scared at first too but my Dr helped a lot.

Lol I had no idea that's what happened. I've seen it before and thought it was a new thing people were saying. Lol
