    My endocrinologist has never heard of this & ignored me when I mentioned it. He's pushing me to get my thyroid removed, but I refuse.

    Did you rule out thyroid tumor in this case. If years after ablation pt develops cancer would you take responsibility of that cancer which was not treated effectively. Is there any research on recurrence as mng is now an antibody mediated disease and it is bound to recurrence.

    What are the chances of leaving any cancerous cell behind that might be missed in the quick multiple sampled on-site biopsy during the procedure ?

    Does the thyroid grow back after RFA
    Does it destroy surrounding nerves
    What’s the cost of this procedure

      I have a multinodular goiter as well and just had my goiter biopsied. Thankfully the result is its benign. I Asked the doctor who read my results what are some treatments other than surgery. Aside from surgery, She mentioned RFA as one of them. I'm gonna be meeting my endocrinologist in a few weeks. I will inquire if RFA is really possible

      @@cincau6506 Yes I have been back to the ENT that performed the treatment. I asked him about it and he said it was normal. I decided to get the RFA treatment because my goiter was getting large, and it was benign, so I didn’t want to get the whole thyroid removed, because my levels are normal. It is half the size now, so it has shrunk, it’s just hard!😟
