hi everyone,
My ultrasound scan shows nodules and the consultant wants to remove the whole thyroid. I want to keep my thyroid and have just the nodules removed. I will ask if they can do this on my next visit but meantime - has anyone heard of having only the nodules operated on and keeping the thyroid?

absolutely - I've quite a few friends who've just had the nodules removed (especially if they are small!). I have a multi-nodular goitre myself and opted to have radio iodine as opposed to an operation. You do have choices and it is your perogativ (with the guidance of your doctors) what treatment will work best. I don't like operations so opted for a less invasive route.
I wish you well.
