Happy for you! 🙏

Hi Jen, thank you for your work! Do you have any docotrs in Germany? I think in Essen there is one. I am an American so I could go to the States but I live permanently in Germany and have been reccommended for surgery and I can't help feeling like this is all too fast to immediately without any other options being discussed to say surgery. I just have myself and the internet and I only know this since 2 days (diagnosis) so

@ItsmeJenagain 10 месяцев назад

Dr. Yucel Korkusuz is in Germany and Austria. His contact info is on our site saveyourthyroid.org.

Thank you so much for what you're doing!! I love the info you have given and the encouragement ❤️. I really don't want a surgery .My nodule is 3cm and only mildly suspicious for cancer. Would you know of any dr willing to try rfa on that size of nodule? And why couldn't it be done if it was cancer?

@ItsmeJenagain Месяц назад

There are some drs who would be willing, it really just depends on who you ask. Cancerous nodules that large may not have enough safety margin to be totally ablated, or they may not completely disappear. With thyroid cancer, you need complete treatment. Have you joined our FB community? There you can connect with other patients who have similar experiences. You can find thr link to join at Saveyourthyroid.org.

Hi Jen! I recently found your channel and thankful you are so informative! I am very interested if you know any US doctors that will do RFA treatment on someone diagnosed with the papillary type? TIA

@ItsmeJenagain Год назад

Yes in some cases. Primarily, the size of the cancer must be under 1.5 cm and there must not be any metastases and thyroidal extension.

@Christina-xu3yb 11 месяцев назад

⁠@@ItsmeJenagainHi Jen, what type of testing shows thyroidal extension?

@ItsmeJenagain 11 месяцев назад

@@Christina-xu3yb I believe it would show on ultrasound.

@Christina-xu3yb 11 месяцев назад

@@ItsmeJenagain thanks for the reply Jen! I had a regular ultrasound of the thyroid that found the nodules so I think it’s safe to assume it would have seen the tissues around the thyroid gland. Again, thank you Jen for all the hard work you have put into making these videos and brining so much awareness and hope to people with thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer! I am so grateful for you and your channel!

@tycoonestate6379 10 месяцев назад

Hi Jen, Will the Dr. In Austria do rfa on a nodule more then 1.5 ?

@ItsmeJenagain 10 месяцев назад

You would need to contact him directly and ask, as there are more factors drs will consider than just size. You can find his contact info on our site, saveyourthyroid.org.
