You are very lucky that you don’t need to take medicine… yet. As with anything, for sone people getting regulated on medication can be easy and for others it can be quite challenging. Since I am having a very hard time getting regulated on medication, I think people should have very strong evidence that they have cancer before opting for surgery.. I was told that biopsies do not diagnose cancer they are only one more test to help predict if you might have cancer. However, Affirma testing with the biopsy has the highest rate of accuracy for predicting cancer and might enable someone to avoid removing part/ all of the thyroid unnecessarily. In my case. I had a biopsy that indicated I might have cancer however the second opinion biopsy did not indicate cancer. During the years of monitoring, several more biopsy’s were negative. When I went to be assessed for RFA the doctor did a biopsy and sent the slides for Affirma testing…. The results gave 50% chance of having Hurthle Cell cancer and that is what was discovered when I had surgery.. Before having surgery to remove an organ, it seems like Affirma testing should be done so the person has stronger evidence about the situation. Since they now have Radio frequency ablation as an option to shrink non cancerous modules, why not consider it?
