Thyroidectomy –
/Dear B and Daniel,
My friends helper has been told she needs to have a surgery and remove her thyroid as a growth was found on it. Based on these reports do you have any suggestions or experience in this?
Thank you
Lana

Hi so based on the reports, they have found nodules and rated the risk levels 3 (intermediate) and 4 (suspicious).
TIRADS, or Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System, is a system used to categorize and assess thyroid nodules based on ultrasound findings. Here’s a general breakdown:
• TIRADS I: Benign (very low suspicion)
• TIRADS II: Benign (low suspicion)
• TIRADS III: Intermediate (indeterminate risk)
• TIRADS IV: Suspicious (moderate to high suspicion)
• TIRADS V: Highly suspiciousThis means that there is some uncertainty regarding the nature of the nodule, and further evaluation or follow-up might be needed. I would recommend getting at least a 2nd opinion before proceeding with any surgery.
In terms of root cause approach, I discuss nodules in the Thyroid Balance course HERE. Does she have any silver amalgam fillings by any chance? Being so close to the thyroid, I’ve seen this be an issue in more than 1 case before.
Also, were thyroid antibodies measured? The report suspects possible autoimmunity. If that’s the case, you can watch THIS video for a better understanding of this multifaceted dynamic and possible root cause reasons to start looking into.

Thank you for the explanation. She will be getting another opinion as prior to the scan she was told it was suspicious but when the scan was done, they explained that it was benign.
