^malaki na ba ang goiter mo?

mine kasi is benign colloid nodule at less than 2cm something. tsaka officemate at pinsan ko 6months gamutan din sila at malaki na ang goiter nila pero di agad nag recommend si doc na opera. try muna sa gamot at iwas sa na mention ko sa naunang post. nakaka trigger kasi sila.

so far, next year na ulit ako pa check pero time to time, mag self-neck check ako for possible recurrence(knock-on-wood)

If you will go to a Public Hospital 1000 ok na. Private Labs will cost you 3000 plus.

yung magagastos depende din siguro sa endo, kung madami siya ipapagawa.

aside from the usual blood test (t3, t4, tsh) and ultrasound, meron din akong antibody test (anti-TPO), thyroid scan, RAI uptake and vitamin D assay. umabot ng 15k lahat.

yung iba pinagawa ko sa UPMC-PGH dahil mas mura, yung iba sa asian hospital.

more than 1 year na akong di nagpapa-check up. di na din ako umiinom ng gamot. parang di din kasi ako convinced na nakakatulong yung gamot, and yung endo ko di siya naniniwala sa mga supplements or alternative medicines. kahit sa diet, wala siyang pinagbawal na food. but sometimes I feel better when I go on diets than when I take medicines. pero there are times when I really don't feel good.

sa ngayon i avoid goitrogen foods like cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, petchay, bok choy. mga favorite ko pa namang gulay. pati strawberries, pears and peaches bawal din. ang di ko lang ma-avoid is soy sauce kasi laging ginagamit sa pagluluto. actually, marami pang bawal talaga, di ko lang din nasusunod kasi wala ng matitira na pwede kong kainin pag strictly sinunod ko yung diet.

cabbage, camote, cassava and corn  pinagbawal ni doc until now kahit na wala na ang bukol tsaka self neck exam lang.

maganda sana ma monitor ang progress ng goiter. yan ang sabi ni doctor hanggang sa maging okey na.

ang endo ko pala si Doctor Gerry Tan.

Sis airwaterfire, sorry ngayon lang ako nakasagot. Hindi naman malaki yung bukol ko. Pero nung gusto operahan, 5cm sya. Hinito ko yung levothyroxine at iwas sa pagkain na bawal. Ngayon, maliit na sya, hindi na masyado halata kung di mo naman tititigan.

May mare rscommend ka ba na endocrimologist sis? Yung mga pinuntahan ko kasi ENT at internist.

Tsaka normal ba na naglalagas ang buhok? Grabe kasi yung paglalagas ng buhok ko.

hi! Anyone of you knows an alternative doctor na trusted niyo na? Please PM me asap. I don't want to go under the knife nor take RAI eh. Although wala pa naman un result ng blood test ko pero based sa ultrasound sakin may solid nodule sa right side ng thyroid ko. I want to believe this is not hypo  or hyper haha. Baka pwede naman madaan the natural way. 25 pa lang ako at wala pa anak. I'm scared kasi baka if I undergo the knife or med di na ko magkaanak or tumaba ako ng sobra sobra. Nagpapapayat pa man din ako dahil kakabreak ko lang. Hehe. So alternative talaga ang option ko. I believe in the powers of nature.

may alam ba kayong endo who's experienced with pregnant women with hashimoto? an endo who is very thorough. i might be pregnant and medyo kinakabahan ako because of what i read about hashimoto and pregnancy.

nagpa-checkup ako a few weeks ago, normal na yung tsh and ft4 ko, pero pag pregnant daw, there's a specific range na dapat susundin for every trimester. so di enough yung within the standard range lang ang tsh and ft4.

me thyroid cyst kasi ako last year it was 4cm pero last ultrasound ko eh naging 2.1 na lang at di na sya noticeable sa neck ko but my 3rd FNAC was suspicious...surgery ko next month na
i'm looking for 2nd opinion btw nasa ireland pala ako...all my tests are ok sa biopsy lang pumalpak at wala naman akong symptoms basta me lump lang talaga
balak kong umuwi dyan kasi ayoko talagang maoperahan or maghanap na lang ng endo dito

Hi! I strongly suggest to consult a doctor , if already consulted one and not satisfied then there is no harm in seeking a second opinion. Regarding alternative or herbal medication, it would be safe to have it cleared first coz sometimes it may actually do more harm than good. Always remember, surgery is always the last option for a benign thyroid nodule but it will always be the first in suspicious or proven malignant thyroid masses.

Ang first FNAB ko was suspicious for papillary cancer. Syempre kinabahan ako dahil may goiter din ang auntie ko. First advice ng company doctor namin paoperahan daw. Pero ayaw ko kaya nagpa 2nd opinion ako sa Endocrinologist at sabi niya 99% benign lang ang goiter ko. Explain niya bakit ganoon ang result ng first biopsy ko.

Sobrang thankful ako dahil nawala na siya pero careful pa din na babalik.

Di kaya pilit kang piniperahan at first sis?lol.. Let say, the first word used was SUSPICIOUS, ano yon di accurate ang machine ginamit sa pag biopsy? Or the machine used during your second biopsy was more accurate at naging benign nalang? Nakaka takot naman yon, parang during the time you learned about your goiter being suspicious papillary, sobrang nakaka emotionally bothered yon din dropped to benign nalang? hehe..na wow mali ka don sis:). Pero happy for you sis, at least wala na. Tama, basta monitor pa rin sa health.

Ang sabi kasi may mga laboratories talaga na pag magbigay ng result parang e-assume or something general na ganoon. Baka kasi totoong malignant tapos ang nakalagay is benign at balikan sila ng patient.

Kaya tama talaga na merong 2nd or kahit 3rd opinion kung kinakailangan. That time nalulungkot talaga ako pero nag reresearch ako ng mga espesyalista ng goiter at nakita ko si doctor. Tsaka super liit pa ng goiter ko kaya nagshrink siya at may isa pang plus ang doctor ko, breastfeeding ako that time at pro-bf din siya kahit siya ay male kaya stick na ako kay doc.
