Hi Roxie:
Welcome to the thyroid nodule club... Mine were picked up accidentally when I had a CT Scan of the chest, lungs, whatever...

I think most doctors like to take a wait and see and recheck you in a few months. From what I was told, the nodules grow very slowly.

I opted to have the left lobe removed, since they couldn't tell. Surgery was easy... Best of all, no malignancy... You can't even see the scar...

Don't get too excited here. Most are benign and never cause a problem.

Take care,
Cathie
P.S. I am ready for a cave if you all are...
