Ladies check your neck, feel around for lumps etc, watch yourself swallow a drink of water in front of mirror. My thyroid nodules were first discovered at a routine checkup for migraine medication and my Dr saw a lump across the room. Thyroid ultrasound showed multiple lumps on both sides. Most concerning was one with irregular boarders and microcalcifications, now the others have visibility grown rather quickly. The dr I was referred to suggestedI to go straight for surgery but I thought I’d wait to see if any shrinking was possible with women’s health Dr suggested iodine and maybe do a biopsy. My Drs option today said just get thyroid removed because they’ll send it for pathology again. It already causes difficulties swallowing food or water and sometimes talking is effected. He said it will only get worse and my speech will be worsened if I don’t get it taken care of. So now we’re waiting to hear back to schedule and determine next steps. I’m going to have to be overnight at the hospital after surgery and probably no driving for a week after.
