Re: Could a nodule of less than 1 CM be tested by FNA?

[Guest guest]

Fragrance,

I feel for you, I've been through all this stuff earlier this year. I'm

afraid I don't know about the size of nodule and fna, I had one done,

he accessed the nodule using scanning, very accurately.(for the second

time in life) My endo did say they always use this technique these days

as it's highly accurate. Twenty years back, the first time, they used

the injected trace (radio active?) If poss, you need to get this

procudure done asap, for your own piece of mind more than anything else.

I'm thinking of you, take care.

I think the most important thing is to put your mind at ease.

Living for years, worrying and not knowing is going to hinder your health.

If it can be biopsed, then that¹s your route.

Talk to your doctor.

please post this on iodine group!

my brother in law is going in for surgery on Monday to remove tumors from his

neck. He has already had thyroid cancer, lost his thyroid gland and is on a T4

med! Milwaukee WI, is that near you Venezia? of course he should have been

put on iodine, and if he doesn't get it soon I think he is in trouble.

My nodule's size is just 0.5*0.5*0.6 cm measured by ultrasound, less

than 1cm. Could it be

tested by FNA Fine Needle biopsy ? I am worried that it could be

cancerous or parathyroid tumor. I read about articles that said such a

small nodule could not be tested by radioactive

scanning/FNAprecisely,(but even confirmed as cold/cool/hot/warm nodule

by imaging, does it make any sense? The possibility of cancer is just a

case of " probability " , right?). Is it true?

Regards,

Fragrance

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SUE

Well, My " mind is quite at ease " , you are probably wrong.

I am tring to seek solution by myself, doctors in my region are all lack

of basic knowledges.

I posted here just trying to dicuss the issue with more knowledgable

members here. I would not be disturbed if you don't want to reply to me.

1CM is the margin and FNA, which is quite a challenge for the testing

doctors. That is the common knowledge among the medical world, which I

want to confirm that with members.

Hi Fragrance I have numerous small nodules up to 0.4 cm. The best info I have found is on Thyroid Disease Manager which says that nodules under o.8 cm are to small to do a FNA. This link take you to section that I found most helpful.

http://www.thyroidmanager.org/Chapter6a/chapter6c_frame.htm

Remember the majority of nodules are not cancerous but they should be monitored by your doctor to see if they are stable.

best wishes

I don¹t understand your message at all?

If you were trying to seek a solution by yourself, you would not be posting

for help with questions on your board.

I was being very empathetic to your questions and what seemed like to me,

natural concern when one thinks they make have cancer in their body.

Best wishes.

Hi, Fragrance. There seems to be a communication problem here. Sue was

only trying to help.
