Sue, thank you so much for the reassurances. That helps to know that it may/will not be forever…just a long while. 🙂

Was the nodule 2cm when they first discovered it?
If not, how long did it take to grow and if you know what conditions lead to their growth?

Do you know why they grow there to begin with?

Thanks so much!

I have had one or two thyroid nodules since 1988. Had aspiration in 1988, no cancer cells. Am monitored, no issues. Take Synthroid because nodules I guess interfered with hormone production. Basically nodules are rarely cancerous. One of mine I think has shrunk. They are common. Dont know sizes.

Mine was found during a physical, was large enough that the doc felt it when palpating my neck glands. The endocrinologist said "some people just grow them" so I never worried about finding a cause.
