Thank you so much for the information. I also feel I should get a second opinion regarding the thyroid nodule that I have before having surgery and removing half of my thyroid being the nodule is considered undetermined of having cancer. I am going to talk with an Oncologist/cancer doctor before I have this procedure done and get his opinion on it. I am not having any real problems with the nodule or symptoms other than my teeth/gums aching or bothering me on occasion. Hopefully talking with a cancer doctor he may make other suggestions or put me at ease. Thank you for the insight/information.

Something to mention again….if you decide to try and shrink the nodule with RFA, the doctor does a fine needle biopsy first to determine if you are a candidate. Having a second needle biopsy isn’t necessarily a bad thing and it can give you more information. The doctors who do not do RFA might not recommend it and just think surgery, so research your area. Good luck!
