Biopsy

Hello,

I'm guessing you're talking about fine needle aspiration tests. Is that correct?

Have you previously had ultrasounds? If so the 'active' comment might mean that those nodules have grown since last time. Otherwise, I have no idea why they'd call them active. Maybe they mean 'interesting'. Honestly, when it comes to cancer, you don't want your lumps and bumps to be 'interesting'. 

The thing to remember is that some of us get one big monster nodule, others get a few and some folk get them scattered about across the thyroid. Number and size are not necessarily any strong indication of whether they might be cancer. If diagnosis was as easy as counting and measuring them, life would be much simpler.

To put it simply, some people just have a lumpy nodule-y thyroid. Some people don't. That's about it.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I had fna on three of my nodules.
