Thyroid labs (bloodwork) are NOT indicative of thyroid nodules or cancer -- learn why.

Something we frequently hear from patients is "my thyroid labs are normal, so I don't have thyroid cancer." Unfortunately, in most cases, the two are not related.
In this video, Dr. Nate Walsh of the Clayman Thyroid Center walks you through thyroid form vs. thyroid function. He explains the typical thyroid labs your doctor might order and covers what the results mean. He also explains WHY thyroid labs are not indicative of things like thyroid nodules or thyroid cancer.

I tested normal for TSH, WHILE I HAD a tumor from thyroid, around my vocal cords, down to chest. WHEN THEY did the neuclear dye test, my R thyroid was dead.
I survived and did not have cancer, but it was classed a 5, and was growing as he tool it all, my doctor said it was ready to be cancer. He said to have scans every 6-12, months. Never had I been given one. From 1987- to know, no meds either.
What would you thonk of that? I am 71 now, butiing weight, almost 80 + lbs.
Doesn't look good.
Thanks for any info. GOD BLESS
