A member asked:

Could it be cancer? my thyroid levels have been off so they did the ultrasound and found nodules.thyroid biopsy results showing follicular lesion

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You need an expert: A Thyroid specialist can help you to determine if the nodules in your Thyroid are benign or Cancerous. Ask your doctor to refer you to an endocrinologist. A second opinion always helps if your doctor has not been able to sort things out for you clearly .
