Normal Uptake Scan...what happened to??

Hi,

I am sooo puzzled! I found out about a month ago that I had hyperthyroidism TSH .02 the doctor suggested an ultrasound which found 2 nodules. One on each lobe.....one was 3 cm and the other was 3mm. I had the uptake scan on Tues. and just got the results today. It was negative....the uptake scan didn't pick up the nodules according to the nurse. I have an appointment to see an endocrinologist on March 1. The only way they were going to take me sooner is if I was "priority". I can't wait any longer! I called all over and every endocrinologist in my area is booked to March-May.

What happened to the nodules? What does negative mean? Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks!

Hi Kristinehm,


I'm a little puzzled over the word "negative" to describe the scan/uptake unless the only thing the nurse was saying is that there were no nodules.
