11 year old girl with hyperthyroid adenoma

[Guest guest]

I have a 11 year old daughter .... last week we noticed a lump on her

throat ... we took her to see her doctor....he order a blood test

and it indicated she had hyperthyroid ...we reviewed family video

tapes made of my daughter over past several years... The video shows

that she had a lump in her throat as far back as when she was 7-8

years old ....beyond this date it is difficult to tell if she had any

lump because of poor video tapes ...But she has had no Symptoms of

hpyerthyroidism ....My daughter is going through puberty right now

.... she has developing breast ... although she has not had her

period yet .... but i expect it to be very soon ....

Today we visited an endo who had ordered ultra sound and the thyroid

scan test together with many different blood tests ...The results of

the tests per endo is that she has hyperthyroid adenoma. He has

ordered FNA and says thyriod need to be removed by surgery....did not

give any other options .....

please can any one help from their experiences ....so we can make the

correct decision ... thank you very much ...christine

ps.. We would also like hear anyone who has a child going through

this or has gone through it. Or anyone knows of someone with a child

with hyperthyroid
