Need to go for a thryoid scan

I had a ultra-sound a few weeks back (I know I had nodules for 2 years) but now they found a hot nodule with a blood flow so the doctor ordered a scan. Got the authorization and called for an appointment only to be told I have to be off my meds for 4 weeks prior to the scan and not only that but I'm scheduled to have a ct-scan of my lungs with contrast next week (found two nodules there) so now that makes it six weeks after that. Only problem is my authorization is good until June 23rd and I can't take the thryoid scan until July 10th. I'm so frazzled right now..why didn't the doctor's office tell me all this. Apart from all the worrying my son's wedding is Sept 1st and I wonder what will happen to me. What will happen when I go off my thryoid meds...my hair is still falling out with the meds..will I be bald and gain more weight when I go off them? I'm just so angry at all of this. Bad timing for all of this not to mention I'm not feeling so great either.


thanks for letting me vent

Hi jajadamom,
