i am new to this part of the forum. I
usually frequent the pregnancy boards.
Considering i'm 23 weeks pregnant. I
have "several" small nodules on my thyroid
found via ultrasound. I went to visit a
specialist and during the first visit he
didn't seem concerned. He showed me the
ultrasound report and it seems the largest
nodule was only 4mm. He told me to
return in 6 weeks. Yesterday the visit
happen and he felt my neck and said it
seemed to be larger. He told me I should
get another ultrasound in 3 months and a
minute later changed his mind and said two
months. Then he started talking to me
about fnb. I read up on this and it says
most Dr.S don't perform this unless there
is a nodule that is larger then 1cm. If
my nodule is growing this fast and me
being pregnant and him not wanting to do
anything until the baby is born do you
think its anything to be worried about or
do you think that he is just taking it
safe? I've read up on all the cancers
and I know that 50% of the population has
nodules and over 90% turn out not to be
cancer. Has anybody had thyroid cancer
and what did it start out llike? Or has
anybody had nodules before they were
pregnant that swelled up while they were
pregnant. He said this could happen to.
I'm actually getting kind of worried by
all this. Help would be appreciated
