Thank you for this. I had a CT scan and it just talked about my large thyroid. That was it. My oncologist had no comments to. I suggested that I get an ultrasound and he said yes we can do that. Ultrasound prove an excellent option for detecting, thyroid issues, and in my case, I am going to need to biopsies done on two nodules based on the TIRAD scores. The sad commentary is that when I asked oncologist to schedule an ultrasound he agreed, and he didn’t think that we see anything any different. So he was doing it to me and he didn’t think that there would be anything of value coming out of it, another thing worth mentioning, I had a thyroid panel blood test that looks normal.

I have nodules of 2mm my gp said that is normal nothing to be concerned about..Should I get a second opinion?

3:21 and what would be the reason for that? Sign of inexperience? Intrinsic risk in those imaging techniques? Results unreliable?

My thyroid nodule is only 2 mm but I initially had the ultrasound because I had an intense pressure sensation when lying down and swollen lymph nodes in my neck. My dr says the tiny node couldn’t possibly give these symptoms… I wonder, though.

Does every harder thyroid nodule always turn out to be cancer?
