Success Story 7: 31 YO F
Pre Treatment
Initial Situation
Right upper thyroid nodule which is enlarging and causing more symptoms. Her TSH is chronically suppressed, although she has no overt symptoms of hyperthyroidism. She has been recommended to undergo a right thyroid lobectomy which she has refused. She found the Thyroid Nodule Treatment Center where she was found to have a 5.8 ml right upper thyroid nodule. A biopsy and nuclear imaging were obtained. The nuclear imaging demonstrated a hot nodule in the right upper pole with suppression of the remainder of her thyroid gland. The diagnosis of an autonomous nodule was established.
Methods
Her nodule continued to enlarge in size up to 9.38 ml. It was treated with 13,300 Joules using a 5 ml RFA probe.
3 Weeks Post
Her TSH is now 3.91 and her Free T4 is 0.6. She feels well and notes a dramatic
decrease in size of nodule from 9.4 to 4.1 ml!
