goiter & can I send . . . .

[Guest guest]

A goiter is simply an enlarged thyroid, is that correct?

And if I can manage to get a decent photo of 's neck, where you can see the size of his, am I allowed to send it to the group?

You can send pics, we've got the group set up for that... we have a photo section off the group home page

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/The_Thyroid_Support_Group/

Where you can post pics, too, for the folks that read their mail online. If you're not sure how to post them in a photo album just give me or a holler, we'll help...

A goiter can be an enlarged thyroid gland or it can be from nodules or other growths inside the thyroid tissue. That's why they do the scans and the needle biopsies to determine what it is. In my case they did the scan and found a perfectly healthy thyroid gland that just happened to be twice normal size. It wasn't all that noticeable but I'd been having a LOT of trouble with coughing for years. A fullness in my throat...
