Has anyone ever had a toxic thyroid goiter?


i have to have a biopsy. i'm scared of course but i'm worried about that needle. can anyone share their experience with the same health problem? i keep cancelling my appointments. i've done my research but experience speak louder.

I work in Nuclear Medicine and we deal with thyroid issues all the time. I have seen many toxic multinodular goiters and if you need a biopsy you should have it done. The results that can occur from letting it get worse are much more drastic than a needle. Get it done.

i have.... not
