Guest guest Posted February 26, 1996 Report Share Posted February 26, 1996 Hi Raven, I have a goiter that often changes in size, but I notice the size difference more like weekly than hourly. I also have one side that is larger than the other and it is painful when I touch it. When I told my doctor about the pain and the difference in the one side compared to the other he immediatley wnated to do a biopsy and I let him. My results came back indeterminate and the whole cancer fear set in. It was a horrible experience and if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't. So now I don't touch my goiter so it doesn't hurt (I had heard that by touch something like a goiter repeatedly you might create another problem or stimulate the thyroid even more). I figure that my goiter will go away when it is time to and not a minute before Ithink that will also be a signal that I am well or nearly there. Good Luck, Ann ------------------------------------------------------------------------ZZXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
