Another question I have - is about RFA .(radio frequency ablation) The more I am reading about it, the more it seems that RFA is now being used to shrink not just benign thyroid nodules but also thyroid carcinomas. Did any of your surgeons talk more about this option? (maybe you all have already discussed this and I might have lost track of the conversations)

Here's a discussion on RFA -

re: RFA -- I have read and wondered about it too, but none of my docs ever recommended it. I don't think I asked enough about alternatives to surgery and wish I had. I'd definitely be curious to know what your docs say if you decide to bring it up with them.
