I need advice on thyroid nodules

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I'm relatively new to this group and I have read just about every

post there has been. I am a 5 year breast cancer survivor and just

recently had my 5th PET scan done that showed two nodules one on

each side of the thyroid. I had FNA last Thursday and haven't got

the results officially yet however the cytopathologists did do two

and said thye were benign but didn't say what it was. The surgeon

came in after he was done and said " That's great news " . Now what we

will do is a RAI scan and probably we will do hormone suppression

therapy to shrink the nodules. He was gone before I even know what

to ask. I was somewhat relieved but at the same time wondering why

the hormone suppression therapy if it is benign. So I did my

homework and discovered that more than likely I am looking at a

precancerous collection of follicular or papillary cells gone

amuke. I am going for test results officially on Thursday but I

really don't want to do the RAI scan as both nodules will probably

show up " cold " . Why do I say that? Because that's what the PET scan

does. The injection you receive is insulin laced with a radioactive

material and cancer cells love sugar they light up like a XMAS tree.

And two nodules showed up " hot " . This is a no brainer to me. They

probably are " hot " with cancer cells. Knowing all that you guys

know can you give me some suggestion as to how I can shrink these

nodules even if I had to have my holistic doc do suppression therapy

with Armour. I've been on 50 mgs of Iodoral for a little over a

month. I haven't seen all my thyroid labs but she said they were

good. I got threw the initial shock of Iodoral with a rash and

runny nose etc and now I'm just constipated but I will stay the

course on 50 mgs or up it if I have to. I take all the co-factor

nutrients so I can get my thyroid healthy again. I think if

anything I have always run low normal thyroid but never was

diagnosised " hypo " . I have my holistic doc appointment tommorrow and

I know she communicates with Dr. Flechas almost daily so I know she

is willing to do anything I ask. I'm just soooo new to this I don't

know exactly what to do. Any advice I would really appreciate it.
