A member asked:
I have multiple thyroid nodules - 12 to be exact, too small for biopsy, that have grown over a four month period, what's the best way to treat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This: Should probably be answered by endocrinologist but continue having hormone levels checked. Hyper or hypo functioning may occur. Cold vs. Hot nodules on hida scan need different treatments. Ood luck!
