Can you talk about Follicular nodular disease? I have 3 TIRADS5 nodules and all of them had blood and colloid in them apparently and were benign and Bethesda II. I’m wondering if they could still be cancerous..the biggest is 1.4cm. I have a follow up appointment in 6 months for bloodwork and an ultrasound.

I wanna give you a HUGE THANKYOU for saying it's not a GOOD CANCER. When I had cancer that's all I remember people saying. I felt invalidated. so truly thank you!♡

Thank you so much for this. My parathyroid’s have been non functioning since my thyroidectomy in September.. I’ve been hospitalized for calcium issues, weekly blood draws, and so much more. I was a very healthy 32 year old mom prior to this “good cancer”.

I was referred to ENT bc the radiologist didn’t know what he was looking at: “There is question of lobulation of the inferior pole right thyroid versus exophytic nodule or parathyroid nodule.” My other side is loaded with them and “the largest is in the left side of the neck at level 3 measuring 2.4 x 1.1 x 0.5 cm. I don’t know what this means but I’ll find out soon.

I’ll say my surgeon was amazing and my scar is hardly noticeable, but I hated hearing people tell me I had the good cancer over and over again. I was 26, it’s been 5 years and I’ve never felt worse. My hormones are out of whack, my thyroid meds are never right, I feel best when I’m hyper but they obviously can’t let me stay hyper so then they swing me hypo. I’ve developed celiac basically right after my surgery. I’m 31 but I feel 60. On the outside I look healthy. I’m active, I own a business, but I feel ancient and I’m tired and always feel crappy.

Thank you for saying this. They (doctors) act like it’s nothing. I found it annoying that it was called “good cancer”. I have my full thyroidectomy & neck dissection surgery in 2 weeks. I’m really nervous & anxious. But I’m trying to keep my head up💕

Yes, thank you for talking about this. My son is 22 and was diagnosed with encapsulated Angioinvasive follicular carcinoma. It’s bed hard watching him go through this. It’s bed a lot mentally and physically for him.

Love your content - so informative and anxiety-reducing (like nothing else I’ve found). You convinced me to look into scarless surgery (only two surgeons in my country). Unfortunately, whilst my surgeon would still perform the scarless procedure, if I wished, I’m not a good candidate. This is due to the shape of my nodule/ goitre, it being around my laryngeal nerve, and the risk of capsule breach. It’s been a struggle to come to terms with this (for several reasons - mainly just the better recovery/ outcomes). May I ask the full implications of a capsule breach with a Thy3F nodule (on isthmus) should it be malignant?

Had my thyroid removed few days ago, it spread to lymph nodes she said it was black and necrotic and she said she took my parathyroid out and debried it and then put it back in ? Pathology said it is cancer but Now my case is being submitted to a cancer board , I’m worried about weight gain, I’ve lost 100+ lbs and already had hx of metabolic issues it’s ass
