[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 121271, member: 2727"] Barbara, Yes it is possible, Its going to take a lil time for the approvals I think so I am thinking to have another sit down with this Endocrine Dr or seek another opinion. I want a Dr to be blunt and to the point. I would not have all of these thoughts and or questions had he been more to the point and of course if I had in the midst of our first meeting had the questions at the right time I think that that would have helped but we all know how that is, We somehow do not think of them until after the fact. "Shouldn't surgery be a last alternative ~ not the first thing tried?" I think the last alternative being surgery would be optional depending on the size of the mass or the thyroid itself or the results of the labs or a biopsy if done. . My difficult children thyroid is pretty prodominant and the Dr was smiling as he was telling my difficult child that removing the gland would be a good thing for her for cosmetic reasons. Hmmmm. I'm thinking HELLOOOOOOOOO........ I worry more about the outcome that cannot be reversed once its said and done that will definitely lead to many health issues that my difficult child will have to endure in her future. Yikes!!!!
