Guest guest Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hello, I have not been on this board in along time. I have had many health problems since. I started off having Hypo and then when I became pregnant it turned into hyper. I now have a nodule on my thyroid gland that is pretty big. I took PTU through out the pregnancy. I suffered a miscarriage previously which I believe had something to do with my thyroid problem. I gave birth 10wks ago to a beautiful baby girl named Norah Faith. Now that the pregnancy is over I am taking iodine. I am still on PTU as well. The nodule is a little smaller now but my endo is doing a biopsy on it soon. Not looking forward to it. He thinks I just need to have my thyroid gland out. I am not so sure about this. I also see Dr Dalton for this and he has me on the iodine and a few other things to improve it. Hopefully it will work so that I dont have to have the surgery. I just found out that I have superficial spreading melanoma so will have an excision of it on Friday. It just seems like its one health issue after another. I wanted to see if anyone has experience with hyperthyroidism with a large nodule and what you did to improve it. I am really hoping to avoid surgery. Unless its cancerous and then I guess I have no choice. THank you for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
