95% of thyroid nodules are benign. 95% of people with thyroid cancer that is treated recover fully with no recurrance. This is from the official cancer site. My brother-in-law had cancer and had his removed and his long term survival rate actually improved. Go figure those statistics. The problem with nodules is that they sometimes decide to produce more hormone than you need. They will do this cancer or not.

So get that test.

I teSted positive for the Hasimoto's antibody. Test ordered by my neuro doc. Level was quite elevated but she said it was not a factor in my motor neuropathy. Maybe it was elevated because I have no thyroid. Why do docs do tests they no do not apply to the clinical situation?????
