Hi Judy, we posed this question to Dr. Antonia Verso in Phoenix and here's what she had to say.
"This tends to be true for many patients that the tumor can be almost benign and not bother the patient, especially if it is very small and yet, for some it can turn quite malignant if left for several years. In a patient with multiple nodules, this is less true. If someone with a prior history of cancer, it is more likely to be more aggressive and it is best she had the operation. The allergy seen with Synthroid and the generics is not due to the structure of the molecule but to the dye added to color coat the tablet so that one dose will be distinguishable from another. Hence, you would do better on the 50 mcg dose."
