I found out I had thyroid nodules the same time I was diagnosed with oral cancer in 2005. My doctor (ENT) has been monitoring the nodules via periodic ultrasounds (to measure the size of the nodules). I�ve also have periodic FNAB (find needle aspirational biopsy) to look for any signs of cancer. From what I understand, thyroid nodules are fairly common in women and most often are benign. However, you should continue to have the thyroid nodules monitored by your doctor.

It sounds like you have a lot of health issues already and plenty of stress in your life. I pray that you do not join the OC club also. Good luck with your appointment this week.
