I was told I had 70% theoid cancer following FNA 4 years ago.. they wanted to operate immediately and then radio active therapy. I just couldnt do it. Inhad just.lost my mom and it was covid time. I went with my gut instinct and refused surgery for now.. doctors think I'm crazy to decline as it could spread to other areas..but i know.i will never do chemo or radio active therapy so no point in doing surgery... im going with my gut instinct for now and monitoring with ultra sound so far it hasnt grown. Im thinking of the 30% that said it may not be cancer and i want to hold onto my theoid as every cell in my body depends on the throid. I am so happy to see this video 👏 👏 I feel less alone.. commented even before I listened to it 😊 so Im going to listen now.
Gos bless everyone.
Pray 🙏 and believe jn the PLACEBO & Gods plan.
I pray 🙏 that all people watching this video will be safe from harm and cancer and will live long, healthy happy 😊 lives. God bless all & thank you to both these gentlemen for this video. This doctor seems very down to earth and having his patients interest at heart. Thats all we can ask. May god be with you all 🙏 🤲 ✝️ ❤
Phillip .. I'm so sorry for what happened, to you and thank you for your podcast, which is helping many others.
God bless 🙌
I would recommend people definately NOT to rush into surgery but to observe for a while until youngetnyour head around what you really decide YOU want to do.
🙏 do
My surgery went well though I am sure there are some damage done to my neck.. I am positive I be ok after this..still healing for now! We should not be scared if cancer strike us!
Thank you Dr Akeria.. you've put my mind at rest that I am NOT crazy for following my GUT INSTINCT and observing with ultra sounds rather than having surgery. Your talk was excellent and makes toral sense.
God bless you 🙏 ❤️
I knew a coroner that did autopsies for years on older people that had cancers and they never knew they had it
This video was just what I needed thank you for your advice on Thyroid Cancer.
I feel this!! Me too!!!
I was diagnosed of having papillary thyroid cancer jan12/24, had total thyroidectomy surgery and left neck selective dissection ..I have to be honest I wasn’t afraid or get sad.. I was scared after I was at the unit as I almost had a cardiac arrest or stroke because my calcium level went critical as nurses focus assessing my vital signs yet I was already c/o having chest pain. Numbing and tingling in my extremities. It was scary experienced so glad I was able to advocate firmly for myself.and I have a medical background!
Did you feel something inside, like a bb or such? Need to go to the doc but it's just inflamed, I don't feel anything inside. (need some dental work tho so perhaps I'm worrying too much :/ )
How did it shrink? What did the person do? Was it do to diet changes? Was the patient younger or older?
Hi @jandlesmith it is Philip here, I asked Dr. Miyauchi is there were attributing factors as to why some thyroid nodules and cancer shrinks. He says there is nothing they have identified. The topic is discussed in greater detail during this interview: ruclips.net/video/Jz8tgu8BwYM/видео.htmlsi=el9riLC-8q7jTBGZ
Right!?? I have a nodule that’s 4cm and 75 percent cancer so I wondering the same thing
I was not given any other options other than cut it out!! My intuition has kept me from having the surgery. I was dx in Oct 2023 …Thank you for sharing this…I am now seeking a naturopath oncologist that will assist with active surveillance and any other medical needs
Me too. You're Nottingham alone. It's been 4 years for me.
If i had this video earlier I wouldn't do surgery
on a incidental finding i was diagnosed with a Thyroid nodule of less than 8.6mm TR5 did fnac it turned out to be Bethesda V suspicous for papillary tc my doctor is suggesting total thyroidectomy it would be really helpful if anyone knows about cryoablation is it helpful ?? i would rather preserve my thyroid than go for a thyroidectomy i have no symptoms form the nodule
i would appreciate any help on the cyroablation
What about mtc? Papillary is the most common but there are another 3 types.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. Now, I am sure that I wouldn’t have my surgery, although that is my doctor’s advise.🙏❤️
🙏💖
Hi @irisagnessamia4679 it is Philip here, I feel same like you. I only have regrets now.
Why do you have regrets? What consequences you have from the surgery? 22:46 22:46
What is considered small, less than 2 cm?
I have a goiter which is 7cm in size. I am now under investigation for thyroid cancer. If it is cancer I don't think I want surgery. The thyroid is such an important gland and I would rather keep it if I can.
I have been diagnosed with anaplastic Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma. OMFG it’s cancerous with 4.7mm growth. It is making me dizzy, giving me ear aches. Very painful only option is a full thyroid removal. OMG I feel it growing!
Papillary are multiplying it’s crazy they removed over 20 nodules in my neck though I can only see and felt 5 at that time .
Try to buy barley powder from Australia.they said it shrinks nodules. After the surgery I felt 2 more lumps but I consider using barley powder. The 2 nodules are gone .
@@rubydalloway901wow and what is the update? Thanks for commenting. If I do nothing I’ll die in 6-months but even if I do surgery, I’ll still die. Very worried and frustrating.
But, what if the cancer has spread to the lungs? Should we avoid systemic therapy like chemo or targeted therapy with lenvatinib?
Anyone out there had cancer spread after biopsy? Iv'e heard of this happening.
I’ve got biopsy for my papillary thyroid cancer on my left side thyroid. After 1 year, my lymph nodes near the thyroid that had cancer also got metasis become cancer. Don’t know if it’s due to biopsy or not. But today is 7th day of my thyroidectomy. Just discharge today.
@@norzeelaabdulwahab7856 hello, how are you now?
@@norzeelaabdulwahab7856 doing better I hope?
Unfortunately i have done thyroiductomy, would i have seen this video first, i wouldn't have chosen surgery
Hi @Tantryshowkat it is Philip here, I feel same like you. I only have regrets now.
@@DoctorThyroid ya sir only taking medicines thyroid 125mcg ,n calcium
On a incidental finding, I have 8 separate nodules. I have 4 labeled...TR3 (2), TR4, and one TR5 with punctate calcification. On both sides of thyroid. Measuring 8x5x9, 9x4x11, 8x5x11...and trouble swallowing. I'm guessing FNA is next. Follow-up next week.
With all varying sizes and levels, simple, mixed, and calfication, I don't feel comfortable with the wait and see if it shrinks.
I have also heard of they put radiation pill in neck to attack the cancerous nodes, can you please give all the information to that treatment. TIA
Good luck! I have nodules that have been there for nearly 15 years and I am just now having them biopsied (FNA) for the first time. My Pittsburgh doc followed me until I moved and the other Endos did the same. Until this year, they had shrunk, but now it's bigger suddenly! I have Hashimoto's and take 36 mgs tirosent, I feel fine as I am naturally hyper and thin so other than dry skin I am older) I didn't even notice them. I hope we both have good results. I'll check back, I hope you do too.
Good luck to you. Do the fna first on all suspicious ones. Find a very good surgeon. They will decide if part surgery or full one. Then if required the next steps
@@sorryprivate9016How'd everything go? Did you get the results?
I have hurtle cell neo plasm, it's spread in the Last 6 years. The past 3 weeks I've cut out sugar and processed foods. No pasta or breads. Pretty much ketovore. Atm I can swallow again. The inflammation is going down. My diabetes is under control. Blood pressure is lowering ❤
I'm opting out of surgery at this time
Very striking talk!
I recently had a biopsy on my thyroid nodules and the results came back at 75% chance of cancer but my doctor relayed the term of pax8-pparg. I cannot find or get much information on this term but they are saying I should remove at least half my thyroid. Any input would be great!
I Googled it and a lot of very detailed scientific articles on it. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4290886/
Chinese medicinal herbs helped me and they have been used for thousands of years. Why are they now ignored?
but what about the sore throat and mine is on the isthmus and I am a singer and I want it gone, can't they just remove the nodule...can I refuse a thyroidectomy?

What if your nodule is 4.5 cm and you had it knowingly for a year?
Mine is 4cm. I've had it for 4 yesrs ago they diagnosed it 70% cancer after a FN BIOPSY. I haven't had surgery and they think I'm nuts. I'm hoping for Placebo effect and prayer
@@sarahmurphy-nf4yl ok we are in a similar boat!
What are your symptoms ? I struggle really bad in the summer. I’m also hoping towards natural healing.
For me it’s the fact I’m having symptoms that are really bothering me so I’m considering surgery after a year
I got half removed
Hi I have thyroid nodule of size 3CM and my doctor suggesting for half thyroid removal..what's your experience in this...can pls share
Mi tumor media 2cm
Peace & Life Everlasting with Jesus ❤️
