forget thyroid cancer if your scan came up clear - its a pituitary tumour (no its not cancer - just a growth like poly cystic ovaries are growths) you need an MRI on your head. yes it will be expensive as will the surgery to remove it but if you don't do anything it will just get bigger resulting in headaches and vision issues. if you haven't fixed your problem already demand an MRI. No one should have to live with your secondary hypothyroidism symptoms and then on top be treated like a liar because you're not losing weight despite all your effort. Believe me- if your pituitary says you're not losing weight, you can starve yourself until the cows come home and you will not lose a pound. your doc will tell you its too rare (only 18 in 100,000 have it) but 1 in 5 autopsies have a pituitary growth. hope this helps, and hope you are already better!
