…. I forgot to mention. I did active surveillance for 10 years with cancer hospital. The nodule had gotten very large and I was told I was not a candidate for RFA because the Affirma testing identified having over 50% chance of Hurthle Cell Carcinoma. In my opinion, going to an endocrinologist affiliated with a cancer hospital is a better way to go….. they see cancer all the time and would be able to advise you about your circumstances.

Thank you for your personal experience and persepective.
I am considering requesting the RFA option, and while I'm wanting to let a bit of time go by on surveillance to get an idea of the growth rate, I feel it might be worth applying for RFA sooner than later. Thanks again.
