weird.
he suggested i see a specialist to see if treatment is needed. he said it isn't "really high" but it is elevated, which explains the swelling. He will be calling me on monday to recommend a specialist. he said that serious treatment is most likely not needed.
i will let you know how my next appointment goes  |
I'm going through the same thing with my thyroid but my is hypothyroidism - not making enough of the hormone. I had an ultra sound done and now they want to do an uptake scan where you have to take a radio active pill one morining at the hospital and go back the next morning for the scan. I'll be glowing inside.
They were going to do a biopsy but the guy didn't think he would be able to get it. (there is a growth on mine, too)
Let me know when you have your appointent, I'd be interested in knowing what they have to say.
