Not a UC question. Anyone ever have a nodule on their thyroid that you needed to go for biopsy . Have quite a few on the right side. One that is large that they want to take a peak at. Nuclear test first. Thought of a needle in my throat gives me the willys.

That thought gives me the willys too! I'm always afraid I'll wake up with an IV in my neck (bad veins).

Good luck with your procedure and your results!

I've never had this but I wish you the best!

I have, twice. It's not bad as long as you don't swallow during it. The first time I couldn't stop myself and it felt so weird and uncomfortable. 2nd time I managed not to and was fine. They numb you up good. And it's quick

Wish they could put me out! Can't have seafood for a week before tests, Guess it's the mercury levels.

Interesting about the seafood. I suspect maybe iodine?

Hope the test goes well.

Thanks q
Your probably right about the iodine ? I like fish. Not a big meat eater. I've been eating so much chicken.

I have nodule. They did the radioactive uptake test but no biopsy. Mine ended up being Graves' disease. Was on the verge of getting to radioactive iodine to kill the thyroid but was spared. Good luck with it.
