Suggest Treatment For Presence Of Nodules On The Thyroid

Hi, In 6/16, I had an ultra-sound pertaining to nodules in my thyroid; at that time the ultra-sound showed no change in the nodules, but indicated a hypoechois mass of a lymph node within the cervical region. I was referred to an ENT who ordered another ultra-sound [three months later]. This ultra-sound should the original un-changed lymph node and then a second necrotic lymph node. It is recommended that I get a progress ultra-sound in 6-8 weeks. My doctor is out of town. After checking symptoms of lymphoma cancer, other then swollen lymph node, I only have weight loss [drinking Ensure]. Can you shed any info on this, please?

Hi,

Thyroid nodule with nodes in the neck requires further evaluation. I would like to run a few tests before coming to a conclusion. First of all, I would like to examine you in detail and look for any swelling elsewhere, any symptoms such as fever, night sweats, weight loss, difficulty in swallowing, etc. Then I would like to do a biopsy from the cervical node and if required an FNA from one of the thyroid nodules. Depending upon the results of these we can take things further, however, I advise to get these things at the earliest.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jatin Bhatia, Radiation Oncologist
