Hi!
Just read your e-mail dated March regarding a thyroid nodule that may
be cancerous. I'm over 50 and having a thyroid nodule biopsied in a
couple weeks. Apparently, I have several nodules but this one in
particular is solid and has micro calcification/s within or around, not
sure. Dr. says there is an 80% chance of it being malignant but he
claims that thryoid cancer is easily treated if discovered early and has
an extremely high cure rate compared to other cancers. I have read
a lot on the subject as well and what I have read concurs with what
my endocrinologist has said. There is, however, one form of thyroid
tumor that does have a poor prognosis but not sure what type. One
thing I have read is if you have hyper or hypothroidism or other
problem as a result most liklely the nodule is benign. I have neither
so I'm a little concerned. I'm also a breast cancer survivor of 3 & l/2 years. Let me know how things have gone for you.
