Harrold's thyroid RFA experience in TENNESSEE
Harrold had multiple thyroid nodules, and they were causing him issues with his voice. He sought out thyroid RFA from Dr. Luisa Leal and Dr. John Interlandi of New Horizon Diabetes and Endocrinology Clinic in Nashville, Tennessee. This video documents Harrold's thyroid-saving treatment that allowed him to avoid surgery. What will be the final outcome? Watch the video to find out!
Originally from Columbia, Dr. Leal opened the doors to her practice in 2016, offering the local Spanish-speaking population access to a bilingual specialist in state-of-the-art diabetes care. Dr. John Interlandi, a formerly retired endocrinologist with an extensive medical background in the Nashville area, came out of retirement to join Dr. Leal in her pursuit of providing thyroid RFA in 2021.

Symptoms of LARGE thyroid nodules
Переглядів 26714 годин тому
In this short interview segment, Dr. John Interlandi explains how large thyroid nodules can create vague and unpleasant symptoms, such as coughing, dizziness, and fatigue, that can be missed by doctors who aren't familiar with thyroid nodules. This interview was incredibly validating for my own experience with a large thyroid nodule a few years ago. Thankfully, there is a solution that doesn't ...

    Hi Jen, before you had the RFA, was your nodule still growing? My thyroid nodule has been fna twice both times came out as benign but it's still growing and is currently 7.3cm. I had a ent deny me an RFA but I don't know if it's because I'm not a good candidate or they want us to spend more on a thyroidectomy.

    • @rosemarymaameboateng478

      You can be a candidate. Microwave Ablation is like Rfa, done on large nodules. Plus in large nodules RFA can be done twice like Jenn did. Else nodule will keep growing. Dr Kandil does large nodules.

    My tumour was growing so large it was about to stop me from breathing. After they removed it and half of my thyroid I was doing fine. Then they discovered it was Hurtle Cell and said I had to have the other half removed and RAI. It was after the second surgery and RAI that the struggles started. Now at 54 I just feel like giving up and hopefully, some other disease will take my life.

    I was diagnosed with small Thyroid Nodules in 2019. By 2022 my nodules had grown large, and the Doctor's recommendation was surgery, no alternative was suggested. When I did my own research I found that RFA (Radio Frequency Ablation) is being done to shrink the nodules. I brought this to my Endocrinologist and she referred me to a specialist who made me wait 7 months to see her. By then, according to this Doctor, I was no longer a candidate for RFA because my nodules were already too big for this treatment to be effective. Once more she advised surgery as the only solution. So I went back to research, and this is when I found Jen's interview with Dr Camacho. Because of the way Dr Camacho presented information on this procedure I immediately trusted that he was the Physician that would help me save my Thyroid. I contacted his office,, and in 3 weeks I was in Sarasota, FL. Having the procedure done. 3 Months later the results of my C-Scan show an 85% reduction of the nodules. A million thanks to Jen for bringing Dr Camacho to your blog. My experience with Dr Camacho has been the best I had in my 83 years of life. He is a caring, gentle, beautiful person and obviously an excellent Physician. He has a team of real professionals working for him. Dr Camacho and all members of his team followed up and kept in contact before and after the procedure. I am very grateful to him and his team and I highly recommend this Doctor if you don't want to lose your thyroid to surgery.. He has been a blessing to me. I know how extremely important this organ is in your body. b/t/w: Wherever your location is he will communicate with you via TeleMed.

My right vocal cord doesn’t move at all but my left moved a little bit. Do you think when my nerves get better that they can do RFA on my left nodule? It’s 1.9cm. It was my right that they removed with only 0.9cm nodule + papillary carcinoma :(

    I had one nodule 1.3cm, and a 75% chance it was cancerous. Dr. Kandil charged me $6,000 to ablate the nodule. My other option was surgery here in MI. The hospital was going to charge my insurance $30,000 to remove half of my thyroid. I would have had to pay my entire deductible which ironically happens to be $6,000. I feel fortunate I was able to afford RFA. I truly hope our medical system sees the value it has in the future.
