Hi all,

Hoping for a little reassurance here. I was diagnosed with a goiter about 8 years ago. A few years after that they noticed that there was some growth so they did a biopsy and all was fine. A couple years later I was diagnosed with stage 3 kidney cancer and all was forgotten about the thyroid until this week. I went for an ultrasound and the doctor's office called to say that there were 3 nodules that were enlarged and I needed to go for a biopsy.

Just because of my history, I have to admit I am a little worried and just want to know if this is common with goiters?

Thank you!

Jojo
