I was one of the unlucky one percent that my voice was affected. I'm currently seven weeks out, with still a hoarse voice. I've been told it will return in three months. I had RFA done for two toxic nodules. Only one was done via first procedure. Labs and ultrasound coming this month yet. I have not heard if insurance will cover anything as of yet. I had to prepay. Just sharing my experience so far.
@@-Fluxor it's doing much better. But vocal cord is still paralyzed. And other is compensating. 12 mo is when it becomes officially paralyzed. So 🙏 by May.
The one they focused on shrank enough to keep me from being hyperthyroid. My voice has good and bad days, but the cord never repaired itself. Per my first comment, insurance never paid after three appeals.
I will be coming in soon to be evaluated for this procedure....I am elated I did not want to be cut on or iodined lol I can't wait to be healed from this and feel better 😭🙌🏾🎁🙏🏾😁by the way CALIFORNIA IEHP APPROVED ME
@Ravi Kansagra i have had no side effects other than a soar throat for a couple of days. The procedure was not a big deal for me. I can imagine that every "case" is different and I can only say something about my experencies with RFA.
At my last check a couple of years ago, I have two thyroid nodules, one of which is causing a lot of problems for me (trouble swallowing, feeling like something is stuck in my throat, some voice hoarseness). The doctor refused to do an FNA because the nodule is "too close to my common carotid artery". My question is, would I be considered a candidate for this procedure?
What if the nodule is reduced by 50% by RFA and 2 years later it grew back bigger than before?

How are your nodules now after RFA, shrank a lot? And Your voice?

My wife have cancerous thyroid nodules about 5mm, but she is on her first trimester. Is it safe to do RFA during pregnancy?

Who is a candidate for thyroid RFA?
I’m surprised so many doctors know so little of the parathyroid.
What do you mean

Is there any possibility that it will happen again after RFA?
Yes, had the therapy 2 years ago and now its back bigger than before.
