Thread: Update from the doc

    Default Update from the doc

    Hi Folks,
    My doctor called today with my scan results. I have what is called a "Hot" Nodule on my thyroid. The nodule absorbed the radioactive iodine as did the rest of the thyroid. This means that the nodule is probably not cancer. No surgery. The thyroid is enlarged, hyperactive, and both thyroid and nodule can be destroyed with radioactive iodine. I will go in, take a pill and two days later return to work.

    Even though I did not get to fish the Clark's Creek FFO area the other day I did get these pictures:










    See what you are mising by not fishing with the Nighthawk?

    Glad to hear it isn't cancer, knowing what it is, is half the battle. Those are great pictures and hopefully we can meet up at a fish in some time and cast a line or tell a tale.
