Hypothyroidism Support Group

I have a multinodular goiter too. I also have one big nodule in there too that they can't figure out. The reuptake will probably let you know if you have Hashimotos. I have Hashis, just means your immune system isn't that fond of your thyroid. I was scared but it is just to see how your thyroid is functioning. The important thing is that they know something is going on and get it under control - thyroid disease is pretty common, just this week i found out a co-worker has is and is on synthroid and another's mom had hers out when he was a kid. Good luck!

I was diagnosed with a multinodular goiter a few years ago but the doctor did not give me a radioactive iodine uptake test. I am on levoxyl 50 mcg daily and have been since being diagnosed. The goiter has not decreased in size but it also has not increased so am glad of that.

thanks. I am really worried about cancer because I lost my sister to it. I've done a little research and found that the chances are small so hopefully I am worrying for nothing and probably making my hair fall out faster!

The chances of it being is cancer is slim, the more nodules the less chance of it being cancer, that is what I was told, I have one too, I had a fine needle biopsy, to see if I had cancer and it came back non cancerous, right now my doc is not giving me anything, they are just watching and waiting I go back some time in june or july to see if it has grown, best of luck to you

I am the same as Pstokley. Also I have an ultra sound on mine now once a yr to check the growth.
