It’s solid and has some kind of echogenecity or something like that. Classified it as a 3 on the thyroid nodule scale.

Followup with my doctor in a week. Also some minor lymphadenopathy that they said is non pathological with largest lymph only being 9mm (short axis).

What does it all mean.

Pretty sure if you’d have simply asked your actual doctor at the time of diagnosis, he’d have explained that this is a result of over stimulation of the area of the intestine that meets the colon. Stop the ghey sex.

I’m not a doctor but I can say with absolute certainty that you will die someday, as will we all.

From Google
quote:

This classification is divided into six categories: 1 (normal thyroid gland), 2 (benign), 3 (probably benign), 4A (low suspicion for cancer), 4B (intermediate suspicion for cancer), 4c (moderate concern but not classic for cancer) and 5 (highly suggestive of cancer). 


I wouldn't worry about it baw

I texted this to a doctor at the Mayo Clinic.

Their response: “Lol”


Take that for what it is.

It is probably not cancerous but your doctor may biopsy just to be sure

I know some one who had it and had that Thyroid removed. It went well no problem. Will need meds to compensate for loss of thyroid.

Still surgery but should be ok.

Should have posted in the heath board. Might take a day or two but you avoid smart arse answers. But the answers on the ot will never disappoint for a laugh.

My sister had thyroid cancer 30 years ago. She's still alive and well. No thyroid so she takes meds to compensate.

You’re fine. Potentially a thyroidectomy and you’re back at it with some meds. All is well. Best case is you get some meds and habitual monitoring and that’s it.

Not a doctor at all. lymphadenopathy. Means some changes. non pathological means you will be okay.

TR 3 thyroid nodules are almost always benign. You should not worry about it at all ever.

I’m a radiologist. I read thyroid ultrasounds and biopsy thyroid nodules. You never need to worry about it.
