(Episode #81) Shrinking a HUGE goiter: Kathy's experience with TAE


Kathy shares her experience with thyroid arterial embolization (TAE), a non-surgical procedure that can be used to treat large thyroid nodules, toxic (hormone producing) thyroid nodules, and Graves disease. Kathy now shares her experience with thyroid embolization and the importance of preserving the thyroid gland with the Save Your Thyroid patient advocacy community, emphasizing the need for patients to do their own research and advocate for themselves. This episode is a great resource to give general guidance on when thyroid arterial embolization may be appropriate. However, individual experiences will vary.
