My One-Year N=1 Experiment (Against Conventional Medical Advice)
When my annual CT scan for cancer surveillance unexpectedly revealed thyroid nodules, I thought the next chapter of my health journey had already been written. After an indeterminate biopsy, the recommendation was simple: watch and wait. Instead, I spent the next year researching, weighing conflicting medical opinions, and carefully documenting my own results. This blog contains the one year updates and results. This story will encourage you ask more questions, do the research, and become an active participant in your own care. It is not medical advice, but a personal account of an N=1 experiment.
