This is an excellent series of videos on RFA for cancerous nodules. A wealth of information, very clearly explained.

[@gee7343]

Thanks to you, I am able to keep my thyroid, my RFA procedure was done in October today my t3 and t4 level is in normal range, my blood pressure level is so low I no longer need to take the medication

[@ItsmeJenagain]

I'm so happy for you!

[@debragarcia1701]

Was hoping he would discuss RFA treatment for cancer. Felt he emphasized the success rate of surgery, but never compared to RFA.

[@ItsmeJenagain]

Please watch my thyroid cancer playlist. I have spoken with many other drs on this topic since the recording of this video.

[@Soeurgggenn]

you have not discussed the option if the cancer spread to the lympnode

[@ZKarim-kk4ku]

Is it possible for it to grow back? Then better to take it out with surgery in my opinion

[@ItsmeJenagain]

This is a personal decision. Some people prefer to do maintenance treatment over losing such an important gland. However, regrowth is rare in nodules that are well treated.
