another nodule

[Guest guest]

I am hypo and had a PT last December and am currently on 1 grain Armour, which I know is not enough. On Monday I am having lab work done and then will go ahead and increase my dosage. Remember, I am one of the lucky people who have to go up very slow due to side effects. I am not even going to wait on the results, just go ahead and increase by 15 mg.

I have another nodule growing on my right lobe. I have 20% left of that lobe. I am surprised that another nodule is growing this fast as my surgery was just 8 months ago. Has anyone had this happen? It is getting increasingly more painful, which is why the other nodules had to be removed. I am going to see surgeon so they can do tests but my gut is telling me to have the rest of that lobe removed so that no more nodules will grow. Or, will they just start growing on the other side?

I am so upset about this. My incision was just starting to fade. Any advice would be appreciated.
