Do Nodules In The Throat Indicate The Re-occurrence Of Thyroid Cancer?
I have had thyroid cancer and my Dr just recently found that I have 3 nodules on my half of thyroid that is left but will not do a test on them to see if the cancer has returned. The reason he gave me is because the nodules are too small. Is that true?

Hi
Since you had a history of thyroid cancer and is now having 3 nodules on half of thyroid i would advise you to do a thyroid scan .
If any lesion is found then biopsy has to be done to see whether there is any recurrence.
