Follow advice: You may need medication to help shrink the thyroid and you will probably need a nuclear scan. Please follow your physician's advice.

Continue with MD: Your MD is doing the necessary testing to find the problem and correct it. Goiter is a common problem, treatment is effective. Just continue with your MD recommendations and things should work out fine.
