A member asked:
Doctors have recently said that they found my thyroid to be enlarged with nodules and also found a couple lesions on my ribs and iliac bone. im due to get a biopsy but im freaking out and would like some more input?

I would prepare myself and my family for bad news and have supportive family with you when you go to the consultation. The possible label that brings these separate findings together is a thyroid cancer that is stage 4. The specifics on whether this is the true finding and the management available are all an individual process best managed by those who know your case.

I have a thyroid nodule that's 2.7cm that is affecting my lymph node in my neck. I've had many biopsies done, all benign. Doc said that they can remove part of the thyroid. Is this really necessary? Don't they try thyroid meds first?
My doctor ordered a thyroid biopsy because one of the nodules got larger. Why not just remove the thyroid . The biopsy is expensive and painful.
