Thyroid Nodules & Thyroid Cancer: What You Need to Know | UCLAMDChat

It would have been helpful to address the existence of Haistmotos and being on Levothyroxine already and the newfound nodule. Also, the fact the Levothyroxine is a tumor suppressor.

I’m here for understanding. Best video I’ve seen.
Had total thyroidectomy on 9/19/23.
Got pathology results showing I have BRAF mutation. I’ll be having RAi treatment in 2 wks.
I’m a 41 year old single mother. It’s incredibly difficult to plan for your possible death when I’m all my son has.
So here I am, trying to educate myself and live longer

What if u have a lot of nodules

Excellent presentation, thank you.

Every thyroid Dr. and surgeon should send the link to this video to their patients.

Can't u shrink a nogarel

Praying for everyone going through this!!🙏🏼🙏🏼💝🙏🏼🙏🏼

My biopsy was reported as hurthle cell lesion rich on my left lobe 1.9cm and malignancy is indeterminate. It is recommended to remove my left thyroid for exclusion of the hurthle cell. Is it worth doing the surgery?

Excellent!

I have a 19mm TI-RADS 4 solid module on left thyroid lobe is this cancer and serious

nice, bet let the guy speak also lol

I need a reoperation as my surgion has forgot to take out some lymbnodes... on level 6. Also 2 other 1cm lymbnodes on left and right side of the neck he advice not to operate now. Does this effect the prognoses?

Currently taking Alternative Herbal supplement and cleanser, Doctor Isibor has been a great help. I am so happy 😊😊 seeing the quick improvement taking his treatment to get rid of thyroid goiter and fibromyalgia ......

in hypo t based on the level of tshor t3t4 level ,we should select the dose of l thyroxine. which is more important in selecting dose

I’ve had a 3 cm nodule on the Left lobe, biopsy outcome benign, although surgeon suspicious of result. I have a very small nodule on the right side.
I’ve had a partial left thyroidectomy now and the histology revealed that this was initially a benign nodule but on one edge had started to infiltrate its capsule, because of this it now has to be called a cancer.
Treatment options are
1. Surveillance
2. Total thyroidectomy and RAI (which I regarded as cracking a nut with a sledgehammer)
I’ve chosen surveillance, I’m just not convinced that this ‘cancer’ is severe enough at this stage to chose option 2.
All comments welcome.

Thank you for all these information, I appreciate it very much!

Thank you for these information!

Does it mean if the thyroid nodule calcified, it is a cancer?

I had over 4inch tumor, i did Gerson Theraphy, and down to 1.5 in 3 month time! This theraphy require 2 yrs continuous to eliminate all cancerous cells heidden. It is very tough, cannot eat anything you used to eat, a complete different eating for 2 years! Juicing, enemas, all eating per the book. When i cheated, mean ete disallowed food, it immediately stopped reduction...because it is a tumir i can touch, i know... so basically tough, but worth it!!!!

Thank you for information about "cancer" .This is an excellent clearly information which is help me to know what is it and how much effect it in our body's different limb.

permanently cured from hyperthyroidism with dr iyaremoses herbal treatment thank you doc.

Excellent webinar not just for the patients, but also for the physicians. Thank you for your effort. Sincerely.

Excellent presentation.

Thanks for the presentation. I’ve got my ultrasound picture shows the nodule is well-defined. But FNA results is MALIGNANT. Can I understand that means the thyroid nodules is at the stage of beginning to become a thyroid cancer?

I love this thing

Great presentation, each doctor is very well spoken and well rehearsed.

I had a what was a kind of benign slash malignant tumor. How that happens is the tumor calcifies and stops you from going through puberty till 40. Also it cause my tonsil surgery to bleed out in my throat because it was just hard and sharp enough to poke through my throat causing bleeding. The funny is I am growing shark teeth. I think my dentist attempted to kill the root and make the tooth dull but instead it rolled down my chin and took out the sharp thyroid tumor instead making my hair grow back so I now might have full head of hair.

Very impressive presentation. 👏👏👏

Thorough and so informative, thanks so much.

Thank you all very much for this thorough and very informative video. God bless you and yours in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen.

I've enjoyed the discussion it's very informative

This is very informative presentation, I think more Surgeons should communicate with not just with the patient. I think more can be learned when the Surgeons, Endocrinologist, Radiologist, and Pathologist can communicate more effectively, share information, and most importantly go to Seminars using cross overs. A good example: You go into a seminar for an endocrine surgeon and you work as a pathologist, Why?! This seminar not only benefits the patient but, the pathologist can get a clearer picture what the endocrine surgeons see through their 👀 eyes, it give them another tool to help everyone involved. The same hold true for that same pathologist to go to seminars for oncology and endocrinology. I know this is a UCLA presentation: however, remember what I said about cross over?! The same holds true for Universities or other medical centers that are trying to help combat this cancer fight! I like a word that I heard by Dr. Julia Sosa- Endocrine Surgeon at Duke University medical center, she is also writes ATA guidelines, and is the president. She said: The patient must be part of the epi-center, this meaning the initial surgery is the most critical, and the best cure for thyroid cancer, the patient must make decisions as well within the ATA guidelines. I'll have to have a Lobedectomy and highly likely a full thyroidectomy, which for me is not only scary, but very challenging due to some lymph node involvement, and the current pandemic. The pandemic is hard enough, recently found out I am allergic to substances found in the shot, I've had already a serve shock that lasted for 3 days, was told I was lucky to be alive, what do I do??? Especially, they are encouraging cancer patience to get the shot, please help anyone??? I'm lost?

This was so helpful and so well presented. Since I am just beginning this journey, I particularly appreciate the comments regarding the importance of the initial surgery and imaging.

I am in this position now. I have been a nurse for 47 years so i appreciate your information.

If your gonna use a explanation board make sure the person can see and read and be able to distinguish the explanation the lady is pointing too

They don't tell you about the agonising cramp you get all over your body and leg's due to the lack of calcium even though you are taking calc supplements

Is the reacurrance of thyroid cancer have a lot to do with during surgery, being open to the air?

Good presentation, I was one of the outliers, male, very physically fit had a nodule that was biopsied 2x and came back normal. It constanttly tickled my so I asked to have the nodule removed. They thought it was benign and surgery would only be a partial thyroidectomy and should take 2 hours or so. Surgery ended up being 6.5 hours long and was in 14 lymph nodes. I was 38 yrs old but history of fluoroscope use in my podiatric surgical work....
