My 3 mo cat scan showed a 1.9x1.6 cm growth on my thyroid. Wow am I in a bad mood. I was just starting to feel great from the throat cancer. I go to see my cancer Dr. on Wednesday. The thyroid Dr. told me that the growth will need to have a biopsy to determine if it is cancer or not. The thyroid Dr. told me I have what is called thyroidist, and it should clear up in a while without medicine, it is due to the radiation. I also have what is called a "flap foot". When I walk my right foot will not lift up to let me have a normal gate. The ortho Dr. told me that he thinks there is some damage to nerve muscles from the position I was in on the radiation table. I read here one time that "radiation is the gift that keeps on giving". Boy oh boy is that correct.

wfc,

Never heard the flap foot thing before. Sounds creative to say the least.
