I found a lump in my throat about 10 or so years ago. I went to my reg. M.D. and he redid the thyroid testing he had already done before and everything was "normal" however, he sent me on to a Endocrinologist who did a more extensive panel and found I had Hashimoto's. I allowed him to do the needle test because I really didn't understand the issues with that. All turned out OK but when I was put on Synthroid, all 3 nodules greatly reduced in size. that's the reason I asked about Hashi. Edith

Thyroid numbers are always low normal. Concerned about the needle biopsy if it is cancer..it could spread it. On 8/15/2015 7:46 AM, ejohns9...@aol.com wrote: Do you have Hashimoto's?

Doc has been watching it for 5 yrs and it stayed same.. now 2 yrs later it has gotten a little bit bigger and he wants to do the needle biopsy. Scares me, but guess you have to know what you are dealing with. Maybe I better up my CS intake. :/
