I have a multi-nodular Goiter that is growing at a rapid rate . FNA was negative for cancer. Left Thyroid (which is quite large) is now growing over my throat with more nodules on the right Thyroid. Is there other options other than removal and if not what happens with long term usage of the replacement hormones ? I am seeing a doctor at UAMS and he is Japanese and so hard to understand!!!(university of AR. medical school)
