[quote=Anonymous]They discovered several nodules on my thyroid about 5 years ago. I then had the scan with the radioactive iodine but the nodules do not show up on that scan as hot or cold, and they were not able to biopsy the nodules because they were so small. Because my thyroid blood work is normal, and because the nodules have not grown, nothing has been done but to monitor them. My grandmother had thyroid cancer (both papillary and follicular) which is why they were following mine closely. She did well with the surgery and radiation and lived for years cancer free without any long-term complications. I was scarred at the beginning but when I realized how common thyroid nodules are, I was comfortable with close follow up for now. [/quote]
