I had a scan and a biopsy- not because i had an actual lump, but because one side of my thyroid was fuller than the other- this was done to rule out cancer, but also to diagnose the Hashimoto's. If you would feel more confident asking for a scan or biopsy - I guess there's nothing to biopsy, though!- by all means, do so. From what I remember of your posts about this, you have had Hashimoto's for quite a long time, with no lumps, so those tests may not tell you anything you don't already know. I did post above about how my treatment has developed. The Cytomel in small doses, either with or without Synthroid, has been SO helpful- both for weight and depression, and hasn't given me any problems. As far as I can see, it's completely side-effect free.
