I had a plum sized nodule on my Thyroid. My doctor found it in 2002 and I had a Sub-Total Thyroidectomy in January of 2003. It was my first sugery and things went okay.

Thanks Rozie! I'm glad the surgery went well for you! You must have had that nodule for some time since it grew so large. Did it effect your voice at all and did it get painful sometimes? I checked up on this health problem and it's good to know most nodules are benign. Take care Rozie.

No, it was never painful and it had not gotten big enough to affect me yet. But it would have, had they not went on and removed it. I too read a lot about it before having the surgery and yes, most are not cancerous.

I have MANY of them! But my bloodwork for TSH, T3, T4 are all normal, and they are not malignant, so my endocrinologist decided to simply followup without any treatment for now. But they hurt pretty often, and I hate that! :-P

Thank you for the response! I have another ultrasound on sept. 12 and i guess we will see what to do from there! My thyroid only gets sore when i put my neck in a certain position so i guess that's not so bad! Take care. :)and i hope your health improves alot.

Hello Sarah, my last ultrasound showed 3 possible nodules, so i have another ultrasound at the end of July. I really hope to avoid surgery, so your post has given me hope of that! Thank you. Take care.
