Hi,

I have not had this experience, but I know of someone who has
recently gone through what sounds like exactly the same thing.

I had thyroid cancer, so she contacted me for support. She had
goitiers (multiple hypoechoic nodules? maybe?) they were lumps
growing in her neck. She was told to wait for a few months, she was
also told at the time that the likelyhood of her needing thyroid
surgery was minimal. Then she went in for a few scans and was told
told that a part of her thyroid was not functioning correctly.

Rather than have a partial thyroidectomy to return a few years later
to have the remainder removed if her symptoms persisted, she chose
(under advice from her doctors) to have a full thyroidectomy. And
when I spoke to her last she was doing really well.

I have searched the web for your main descriptive words (multiple
hypoechoic nodules & parenchyma) and I suspect that your daughter is
going through a similar thing.

Her TSH was a whacking great high figure!!! I am surprised she did
not feel any symptoms, I would have slept 23 hours a day with that
high a TSH.

I wish her well, please, let us know of her progress through this.

Kind regards

Deborah Ford
