question: My niece had Thyroid cancer 15 years ago. She was pregnant at the time. They removed her thyroid and had the radio isotope treatment. A year ago she was dx with a 1 cm nodule on her R carotid. They told her it was probably from the collapsed thyroid leaves cookie crumbs and nodules may form around them. Today she was to have a biopsy nut had an ultrasound instead because it is on her carotid. It is now over 3 cm. What type of specialist should she be seeing? She has been told there is nothing that can be done. Is this true?
