Debbie,

I have a cold thyroid nodule that was too small to biopsy long ago. So the question was to take out my thyroid and take replacement meds the rest of my life or to skip the surgery and take the meds (Synthroid) to suppress the thyroid.

I choose the no surgery option.

The endocrinologist was adamant that I always get Synthroid and not a generic. The PCP doesn't think it matters much.

I figure the endocrinologist knows much more about these things.

My best to you,
ANN
