Hi my wife got a MRI and her thyroid was enlarged does that mean she has graves or anything along those lines.she had some blood work done and it came back no. But one doctor is saying she does have graves. They are going to do other blood work but can someone tell without doing blood work.and can she die from this. Thank you
