Went to see the thyroid surgeon, at the request of my new Endo.
I do not have to have surgery!
Whoo hoo, well, I don't have to have it right now. whoo. hoo.
I found out the left side of my thyroid is fine. But the right side. LOOK OUT. Full of nodules. Oh wonderful.
So right now the guy from Rush says he just wants to wait and see before removing anything. But once the largest nodule gets bigger, ZIONK! out it will come!
He does think that if my Endo keeps me on a high(er) dose of synthroid, there is a chance the nodules will shrink and I may get to keep the right side of my thryoid for longer than I expect. So we are waiting to see what happens in 6 months.
I am kinda relieved that I don't have to go under the knife. But I am still pissed that I am not feeling any better yet. But I hear it can take a long while to feel the effects of the medication. Arrgh.
