Because it is an important conversation. This week, I have a friend with a just diagnosed thyroid nodule who has had the opposite, very bad report. Just saying, be careful and cautious. This person got checked and tested pretty quickly, but he is spending the weekend trying to plot treatment. Very bad and very sad news.</p> I had tried to post this before the goof.
