“It’s scary to think that my biopsy was abnormal in June of last year, but I never knew. If I hadn’t called Best Doctors, it would have gone untreated. I truly believe Best Doctors saved my life.”
– Roslyn

Why is my health getting worse?

After Roslyn’s doctor discovered a lump in her throat, she saw a number of specialists who told her it was a goiter. Her doctors performed many tests, including a biopsy that was normal.

After months of treatment with medications, the lump grew larger and Roselyn felt worse. Her doctors continued to recommend that she “just keep an eye on it.”

So Roslyn called Best Doctors.

Best Doctors re-tested the tissue from her original biopsy and determined that her biopsy was in fact, not normal. The Best Doctors Expert recommended immediate removal of her thyroid.

Roslyn and her doctor took Best Doctors' advice, and Roslyn underwent surgery. Tests on her removed thyroid showed that she did, in fact, have cancer.

Thanks to Best Doctors, Roslyn’s cancer was caught in time. Today she is well on the road to full recovery and has a bright future ahead.
