I don't understand the size chart. 2.5 cm is 1 inch and I've never seen a kiwi as small as 1 inch. 4 cm is 1.6 inches and lemons are not that small! 1 inch is about the length of an olive. A kiwi is about 6 to 7 cm and a lemon is about 10cm, which is closer to 4 inches, not 4 cm.
Thank you for this. I had a CT scan and it just talked about my large thyroid. That was it. My oncologist had no comments to. I suggested that I get an ultrasound and he said yes we can do that. Ultrasound prove an excellent option for detecting, thyroid issues, and in my case, I am going to need to biopsies done on two nodules based on the TIRAD scores. The sad commentary is that when I asked oncologist to schedule an ultrasound he agreed, and he didn’t think that we see anything any different. So he was doing it to me and he didn’t think that there would be anything of value coming out of it, another thing worth mentioning, I had a thyroid panel blood test that looks normal.
