I am surprised to find that those with nodules aren't being associated with cancer, as mine was. I don't remember any test to determine this, but they said it was cancer and they said I had it for years. I had already survived a breast lumpectomy which was level one cancer.
I insisted on being checked for ovarian cancer twice when I had bladder repair surgery and found no sign of cancer. At my age I don't worry much about it because I eat almost no sugar to feed cancer and I love vegetables that are thought to be an anti-cancer diet. So I sleep pretty well at night and if I should get more cancer at my age, I will make plans for my demise as gracefully as possible. So far I am able to contribute in music and activities at church so I feel pretty blessed by my outcomes of the past. But now I want to read more. Dorisena

Nope. I never have had any problems with Graves disease. I had low thyroid early in my marriage and took Synthroid which didn't seem to help my energy level at all but I had lots of stress, way too much. I had to change doctors and he made me go off the pills for a month and then tested me and said I didn't need any Synthroid. He left the medical profession shortly after that and I dragged myself through the next thirty or forty years until my husband died and I had the bladder, thyroid, and diabetes issues. After I was old enough for Medicare, it seemed I received better attention to my health problems because Medicare covered the costs. I think it was a little late for the best results in health care. But that is an opinion, not a fact. That's my story and I hope it helps someone. Dorisena
