3 years ago I've noticed a lump on my throat. I went to see the doctor and had a U/S and a cytho ponction to make sure it was not cancerous. It was not. My nodule was about 3 cm in diameter (a bit bigger than 1 inch). Since it was not too problematic I didn't have it removed. Fast foward a few weeks ago. With my fingers I can clearly feel that my nodule is shrinking. Now it feel less then 1cm. Do anyone know if a healthy living can have that effect on tyroid nodule???? Anyway I am really happy about it.

    I've no idea about thyroid nodules but I have a small pea sized nodule on my scalp towards the top/back of my head and I've noticed that as I increase in size so does my nodule. I'm working on shrinking it at the minute as I decided I didn't want to grow a second head - otherwise I'd have to give it a name, lol.

    I am glad it was not cancerous, and not giving you trouble breathing or swallowing! I honestly do not know very much about this, but have heard that they can shrink with a good dose of iodine in a person's diet. Congrats on the shrinkage and healthy living as well. Keep up the good work! :flowerforyou:

    I know a few years back while pg I had a nodule under my armpit, had an echo done, was considered adipeux (a fat deposit, an extra from my voluminus boobs:embarassed: ), since then it is gone, so could that be what you are experimenting.

    anywho, call your doctor and ask him the question he's best to answer you regarding this

    Do you have hypothryroide issues and on syntroide? perhaps need to get you TSH bloodwork tested and adjust your medication perhaps
