At that time I hade started taking Lipitor, 10 mg, for high cholesterol. My endoctrinologist, an expert on thyroids, decided against thyroid
hormone replacement therapy. I am supposed to see him once a year, but I see a surgeon twice a year to check on the nodule. Two biopsies have proven "inconclusive", "underlying cause unknown" (size of nodule slightly larger than 1 mm 5 m ago). According to the surgeon I also have goiter.
