A member asked:
Is it ok if a thyroid nodule grows 4mm in 7 month and lights up on a pet scan. dr said its normal. im not so sure. i think i need another opinion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What is the current nodule size and its characteristics by US or CT? Why PET scan was done? Test interpretation has to be based on patient's medical history so you should have the best answer from the doctors who know your case.
