Hello everyone - I finally found the new board. I recently had an ultrasound which showed multi-nodules on my thyroid. The Endocrinologist is scheduling me for a FNA biopsy because he says there is some calcium showing on the ultrasound. I have noticed the nodule for many years and never thought anything about it (no symptoms). The size hasn't changed, and I DO intend to have the FNA biopsy, but my question is how many years can one go with a nodule that remains the same, no symptoms, and it be cancer? Also, can hypothyrodism cause enlarged growth of the thyroid because I've had cold hands/feet, and thinning hair for many years as well (at least 7 or 8+ years)??? My Mother had a goiter (no cancer) and she lived up to 80+ yrs old. I realize family history doesn't mean I wont have thyroid cancer, but just wanted to provide as much info as possible. I am EXtremely nervous and scared! My gynecologist has felt the nodule during routine annual exams, and he's never showed much concern because it's remained the same when he feels it. Has anyone had experience with nodules present for years where there was calcium and it NOT show cancer. Is calcium on the ultrasound a more probable diagnosis for cancer? If so, please share your experience?

Glad you made it here, hope you answer Sapphire's post about not being able to find the new board.

My thoughts about your situation are, I know people can have cysts forever and they don't become cancerous. So why not the same for nodules?

If you're doing your 3LS regularly, supporting your health as much as you can, then I think you are doing a lot to prevent cancer there and elsewhere in your body.

Also some people on the board are learning about Gerson Juice Therapy for cancer; I'm doing it as a preventive and for overall great health. Just a thought for you.

Best wishes,
Jan]]> Jan DeCourtney, CMT Medical/Health Questions Sun, 18 Mar 2012 16:48:32 -0400 http://askwaltstollmd.com/phorum/read.php?3,3444,3451#msg-3451 http://askwaltstollmd.com/phorum/read.php?3,3444,3451#msg-3451
It is a far better thing to find many nodules than just one.

It could be a simple as a diet that is lacking in Salt that contains Iodine..
