I had a 15 mm nodule and a 9mm taken out in July. Now those I knew about for 10 years and grew slowly. They took out the left side of my thyroid. Them eight months later I have an 8.5 mm nodule that wasn’t there on my May 2024 scan. Scary because this one is fast growing. Getting a biopsy next week.

Sometimes, especially for those over sixty, thyroid cancer can become Anaplastic or ATC. It is rare, roughly 2% of all thyroid cancer cases but it is fast growing and requires the best people to combat it. I am hoping that is not the case for you. I lost one very good friend to ATC.
Sorry, don't mean to put you on edge. Let's get this figured out and treated quick.
