Hi,
I posted last week about my "normal" uptake scan yet the ultrasound found 2 nodules on both lobes....3cm and 2mm. After doing some research I believe I read that cold nodules do not take in the radioactive iodine. Is this why the nurse called me and said that my scan was "normal"???? I should also mention that all the endocrinologists in my area are booked up until May however after looking at my test/scan results they decided to put me in for Dec 5. The only person I have spoken to about the reults thus far is the nurse at my primary care's office. I am due for a lab review visit on Tues. and will of course ask the question of my doctor. In the meantime, am I correct in stating that when an uptake scan shows no nodules....that the nodule is cold or not functioning? Thanks!
