Just today I learned that I have a growing nodule on the place where
half of my thyroid was removed due to adenoma 10 years ago. The nodule
is hypoechoic and is about 1x1x1 cm.

I got similar news Friday when a CT scan for a different purpose turned up
a nodule on the thyroid. One of my friends suggested www.endocrineweb.com.
If you haven't checked there yet, give it a try. It had more information
than anyplace else I've looked so far, and most of the news was good. I
was pleased to see that the usual diagnostic procedure, fine needle
aspiration, is said to be painless.

The same friend pointed out that sudden weight loss can be a symptom of
some thyroid lesions and asked if that was how I'd lost weight recently.
No way. I worked hard for those 28 lbs. and it hasn't been sudden. I'm not
sharing credit with some nodule.

Best wishes,
